Hello,

I can't seem to install R packages, since it seemed there were some
permission problems I "chmoded" /usr/share/R/ and /usr/lib/R/. However,
there are still errors in the process. Here's my config:

this is a missing system dependency, requiring the libxml2 'dev' headers. On my linux this is

  sudo apt-get installl libxml2-dev

likely you'll also end up needing curl via libcurl4-openssl-dev or similar

Yes,Bioconductor versions packages differently from CRAN (we have twice-yearly releases and stable 'release' and 'devel' branches). Following the instructions for package installation at

    http://bioconductor.org/packages/Biostrings

but...


[...]
io_utils.c:16:18: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
  #include <zlib.h>
                   ^

this seems like a relatively basic header to be missing, installable from zlib1g-dev, but I wonder if you're taking a mis-step earlier, e.g., trying to install on a cluster node that is configured for software use but not installation?

Also the instructions here to install R

  http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/

would likely include these basic dependencies 'out of the box'.

I've used R on several machines before and never had such problems.
Thanks for any clue!

It's hard to read your message (I think it was posted in HTML), but I think
those are all valid errors in building those packages.  You appear to be missing
some of their dependencies.  This is not likely related to permissions.
