Running into issues when trying to use Superheat

[ChenMorSays]

My code goes as follows:

library(superheat) superheat(data, row.dendrogram = T, col.dendrogram = T) But unfortunately, I keep receiving the folowing error: Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : there is no package called ‘DBI’

I've tried to install superheat along with its dependencies but it does not seem to work. Any ideas?

Hi Chen,

A few questions to help figure out the problem:

Are you getting this error when you install superheat (install.packages("superheat") or devtools::install_github("rlbarter/superheat")), when you load superheat (library(superheat)), or when you try to use the superheat function?

Can you please also provide the output of sessionInfo()?

Hey there!

I am getting the error that's mentioned above when trying to user the superheat function. Installing the package and loading it works fine.

Here's the output of sessionInfo() for your convenience: `R version 3.3.3 (2017-03-06) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows >= 8 x64 (build 9200)

Hope that will assist you in the realization of the error here. Thanks!

That is very odd... I've seen that kind of error before when trying to install the package, but not when trying to use a function.

I have a few suggestions:

First restart a clean R session, then

• try installing from github: devtools::install_github("rlbarter/superheat")
• if that doesn't work, try manually installing the dependencies: install.packages("DBI").

I've also heard of antivirus software on Windows causing problem with write problems... Perhaps temporarily shutting that off might do the trick?

Let me know how that goes!

Executing install.packages("DBI") actually solved the problem! Thank you @rlbarter :)

Yay! It's always tough to figure out what's going on with someone else's system, but I'm glad that we got to the bottom of it :).
