Re: Trouble installing topGO package

Hi,

for the benefit of anyone having the same issue as I did, a day and a half worth of trial and error taught me that redirecting the /usr/lib/R/lib/libgfortran.a symbolic link from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4/libgfortran.a to /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4/libgfortran.so was all I needed to do. Trying to rebuild gcc with --with-PIC is not necessary.

Cheers,
-Eric

Objet : [BioC] Trouble installing topGO package

Hi,

I've been trying to install the topGO package on Linux (debian squeeze), but I keep getting this error when installing the SparseM dependency:

* installing *source* package �SparseM� ...
** package �SparseM� successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** libs
gfortran   -fpic  -g -O2  -c bckslv.f -o bckslv.o

/usr/lib64/R/lib/libgfortran.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [SparseM.so] Error 1

This is not strictly a Bioconductor issue, but I'm way over my head, and I thought the odds were good that someone else here has stumbled into a similar issue in the past. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get this dependency to compile?

Thanks,
-Eric
