metaX installation problems

[educhicano]

Dear Bo Wen, First of all, let me congratulate you for this awesome work. I’m trying to use your R package, metaX but, unfortunately I was unable to install it neither in Windows nor in OSX. It gives me the following errors in windows (10, professional ed, using RStudio): Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Eduardo Chicano/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

• installing source package 'metaX' ... R inst ** preparing package for lazy loading Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/Eduardo Chicano/Documents/R/win-library/3.4/mvtnorm/libs/x64/mvtnorm.dll': `maximal number of DLLs reached... ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'metaX'

These are the messages from console when I try to install in OSX (10.13 macOS High Sierra), also with R 3.4.2 and RStudio:

install.packages("metaX_1.4.16.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source") Warning in strptime(xx, f <- "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS", tz = tz) : unknown timezone 'default/Europe/Madrid'

What am I doing wrong? I’m currently using R 3.4.2, and I have installed all dependencies required for your package. I’m planning to use this package with Maldi Imaging lipidomics data but I have the data in metaboanalyst format (.csv). As far as I have read, this package loads this csv without problems, isn’t it? Thanks in advance! Best regards

Hi @educhicano , I'm sorry for the late reply. In Windows system, you can add the following environment variable to your system:

Please let me know if it works.
