Does it work if you try to use renv
with a project outside of Dropbox?
Yes, it did! I made a copy of my R project outside the Dropbox folder and I was able to install the Bioconductor package. After that, I moved the project back to the Dropbox folder. The package can be run without problems. Thanks for the tip!
I'd recommend placing your project library folder somewhere separate from your Dropbox folder. You could do so by placing this in your ~/.Renviron
file; e.g. something like:
RENV_PATHS_LIBRARY_ROOT = /media/md0/renv
Tweak that path as appropriate, you'd just want to make sure you're placing your library paths outside of the Dropbox folder.
Hello! I`m having the same problem, and im not working on Dropbox. It is ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
@svillegasv can you please file a new issues showing exactly what code you ran and what error you’re seeing?
Hi,
I have an R project stored in Dropbox which is synced among 3 computers (2 installed with windows10 and 1 installed with ubuntu 20). I had no problems installing project libraries on our Windows computers. When installing a Bioconductor package, biomformat, on ubuntu 20, the package failed to compile. I could install other Bioconductor packages on this ubuntu computer though.
