Hi Christian, I think I found the problem and fixed it in the Test Tool Shed. The root problem was that cairo was not compiled with fontconfig and therefore the freetype-cairo module was not working properly, which causes R-Cairo do give us such an unusable error message.
I tested it with our new DEXSeq wrapper, which also needs Cairo if you want to create SVGs. Have a look how to define dependencies here: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/pull/281/files#diff-98f3c4d456a8a7bbd94eca94e167c5b8 This PR will also help you to get all needed R packages in the correct order: https://github.com/bioarchive/aRchive_source_code/pull/20 Keep in mind to mirror your tarballs somewhere. BioC tends to remove older tarballs. Let me know how it goes and I will move everything over into the Main Tool Shed Hope this fixes your issues, Bjoern > Thanks Guys, > Help greatly appreciated. > > I need this as my team are thinking of using > SCDE see http://pklab.med.harvard.edu/scde/index.html > which uses cairo. > > Monday in a bank holiday here so even if you guys are super fast I will not > be able to test until Tuesday. > > Christian > University of Manchester > ________________________________________ > From: Bjoern Gruening [bjoern.gruen...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, August 28, 2015 3:19 PM > To: Christian Brenninkmeijer; galaxy-dev@lists.galaxyproject.org; Dave Bouvier > Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] Installing Cairo into Gakaxy > > Hi, > > I have CCed Dave here.
