[Bioc-devel] installing devel pre-compiled binary for MacOSX

[Stefano Berri]

Hi.

I am not sure this is the right place to ask, but could not find anywhere
better.

I am author of CNAnorm. I have a problem when MACOSX users want to install
packages.

it works fine if they do

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("CNAnorm")

but this install the "stable" version 1.0.0

It is also fine if they download CNAnorm_1.1.8.tar.gz and then

R CMD INSTALL CNAnorm_1.1.8.tar.gz

but this requires XCode and a fortran compiler which is not so straight
forward for some users

If they download MacOS 10.5 (Leopard) binary  CNAnorm_1.1.8.tgz
and then

R CMD INSTALL CNAnorm_1.1.8.tgz

they get

* installing to library
Œ/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library¹
* installing *binary* package ŒCNAnorm¹ ...

* DONE (CNAnorm)

but then when starting CNAnorm

library(CNAnorm)
Loading required package: DNAcopy

In addition: Warning message:
package ŒCNAnorm¹ was built under R version 2.15.0
Error: package/namespace load failed for ŒCNAnorm¹


The user has R 2.14.1

What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to install the development version of
CNAnorm using biocLite?

Thank you in advance

cheers
