[Bioc-devel] phloseq error: invalid class “sample_data” object: superclass "vectorORfactor" not defined in the environment of the object's class

[Levi Waldron]

Thank you, Martin. I did that and went through the long tree re-installing
from source the re-starting R and trying my example again. It wasn't
successful until I tried re-installing phyloseq itself from source, and
that worked! I still don't understand why, since neither grep
vectorORfactor or vector_OR_factor matches anything in the R/ directory of
phyloseq. But, my phyloseq installation is working again.
