Hi,
If "BiocGenerics:::testPackage("IPO")" does not work you can find the actual test-script under https://github.com/glibiseller/IPO/tree/master/inst/unitTests.
What does your sessionInfo() return? I get BiocGenerics_0.14.0 within "other attached packages".
best regards, Gunnar
Hi, actually until somebody can show that for all R version clean installations work, I suspect IPO will only work with specific R versions. The good thing is IPO runs under WINDOWS XP with R3.03 see: https://github.com/glibiseller/IPO/issues/16
I tried a number of packages starting in R2, R3.0 R3.2 etc under WIN7 and most of them give errors the one way or the other, I am quite sure R experts can solve many of the issues, common R users not that easy.
After removing the complete R-directory and R-library and a complete reinstall with this old R3.2.0 version I got this additional error below. These errors come and go and change from time to time. Its R, basically reminds me of the "DLL hell" from Windows.
I think one would need to built a tree with all R versions and then always test and update that with all current packages. Unit testing and dependency testing is quite common in other "languages", its probably not very common for R where every month or so a new version comes out. Well now its the "R dependency hell". http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2014/10/introducing-rrt.html

Hi,
thanks Tobias for testing all these different R versions. At the moment I'm only running R 3.2.1 on Win7 and Linux which works fine.
I always wait some time before installing the newest R-version exactly because of these dependencies.
Maybe it would be good to add system-setups that work to the readme-file at https://github.com/glibiseller/IPO.
What do you think? Cheers Gunnar
Hi, Its a good idea to keep a log of confirmed versions, I also confirmed WIN7, R3.1.2, IPO works. In principle it could also go into the IPO WIKI https://github.com/glibiseller/IPO/wiki Cheers Tobias
Hi,
good idea. I already created a wiki-page regarding system-configurations. https://github.com/glibiseller/IPO/wiki/known-working-system-configurations
Do you have a WIN7 32 or 64 bit installation?
Maybe we could keep this issue open so people can post their working configurations?
Cheers, Gunnar
The issue during installation with biocLite() seems to be specific to R-3.2.0, as mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30955508/r-cannot-load-package-forecast-due-to-namespace-error/30956549#30956549, and with a technical explanation in this comment: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32912268/error-in-r-data-table-v1-9-6-function-fread/32959306#32959306
Bottomline is that Windows binary ZIP packages built recently on R-3.2.>=1 do not work on R-3.2.0, that explains why your build from source succeeded.
Hi, I try to run the IPO code from folder test:
just to let you know. Tobias
