[Bioc-devel] Question reg devtools in MacOS High Sierra

[Nitesh Turaga]

Hi,

Could you provide more information about the error you face with `brew install libgit2` ?? Without knowing what error message you see, it's hard to speculate about why devtools or gert didn’t work.

Best,

    Hello,

    We are the package maintainers of the CINdex package. Our package is giving
    build errors and we are investigating why. I'm currently working on setting
    up the environment so I can replicate the error.

    I have a MacOS High Sierra. Here is what I did:
    * downloaded R 4.1 from  https://mac.r-project.org/ and
    * Got the latest  BioC 3.13 using BiocManager::install(version = "devel")

    * When I tried *install.packages("devtools")*, it said
    *"Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation
    of **C/C++/Fortran: ‘gert’*

    So Then I did *install.packages("devtools")*

    It gave me an error saying
    *"Configuration failed to find libgit2 library." Try installing: brew:
    libgit2 (MacOS)*
    I have tried installing libgit2 using both brew and within R. Neither
    worked. So at this point, I'm unable to install devtools . And without
    devtools, Check And Build are not working

    Has anyone else encountered this issue, please advise on how to fix this.

    Thanks,
    Krithika
