IPO clean install under Windows "stringi.rdb" missing #14

Closed tobigithub closed 9 years ago

tobigithub commented 9 years ago

Hi, doing a clean R install (consider a VM) with R.3.2.0 under windows according to https://github.com/glibiseller/IPO/blob/master/vignette/IPO.Rmd will lead to

library("devtools") install_github("glibiseller/IPO") Downloading github repo glibiseller/IPO@master Error in str_detect(url, pattern) : cannot open file '/R-3.2.0/library/stringi/R/stringi.rdb': No such file or directory In addition: Warning message: In str_detect(url, pattern) : restarting interrupted promise evaluation

For those working with R obvious solution, use install.packages("stringi") or install.packages("foo", dependencies=TRUE)

I think there are issues with R under WINDOWS, especially working with different versions, sometimes older versions that are required and R32 and R64 bit dependencies. I think its quite challenging. T.

Hi,

I also think that handling different versions of R, packages on different platform is very challenging. We are planning to get IPO on Bioconductor or CRAN. Availability there could help a lot regarding these issues.

Thanks for already providing the solution to your problem :smile:.

Best regards Gunnar
