Howdy Niek,
FWIW, here is our latest build of R (with lots of
dependencies added):
http://www.siliconslick.com/easybuild/ebfiles_repo_cleaned/ada/R/R-3.2.0-intel-2015B-default-mt.eb
For extensions, we have another (non-EB) module (attached)
for installing extensions to the above by hand.
Between the two, we've:
a) tried to make sure we aren't using system libs (e.g. TCL)
b) are able to satisfy user requests for misc. R extensions
(automagically)

Hi mailinglist,
I'm probably missing something here and unnecessarily complicating
things. I am trying to get R installed with just a few packages we
use. One of the packages, ggplot2, has a lot of dependencies. So when
I try to install R with one of the existing EasyBuild files and have
ggplot2 as the dependency it will throw an error due to the
dependencies of ggplot2 not being installed, and I have to add the
dependencies to the .eb file. And then add the dependencies of the
dependencies to the .eb file, etc etc.
When installing libraries from within R you can simply give the option
"dependency=True" and it will automagically install all dependencies
for you. Is there an option like that when installing R and some R
libraries?
Thanks,
Niek
