Hi Hua Weng,

I had similar problems in installing AnnBuilder. I have a RedHat EH4 box.  I
did three things that worked (as root):
1) Downloaded the libxm12 package from RedHat and
  rpm -Uvh libxm12-devel-2.6.16-6.x86_64.rpm
2) Installed XML
  R CMD INSTALL XML_0.99-6.tar.gz
3) Installed AnnBuilder
  R CMD INSTALL AnnBuilder_1.8.0.tar.gz

Hope that helps,
Dick

Hi, Bioconductor list and Ting-Yuan:



I have problems in using AnnBuilder package.



1)       May I use Windows based R environment to run ABPkgBuilder? I
haven't been successfully run this command. I saw there is a condition
before this command is "if(.Platform$OS != "windows" && interactive())",
Does this mean this command cannot run on windows platform?

2)       I also tried to install AnnBuilder in R2.2.0 on Linux server. But I
haven't been successfully installed it. The problem is before I could
install XML package, it gave me error message "****    You should use a
recent version of libxml2, i.e. 2.6.22 or higher  ****". And when I tried to
install 'libxml2', I got the following error:

    > install.packages("libxml2")

Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available,  :

          no package 'libxml2' at the repositories

So I want to ask how I can successfully install 'libxml2' on Linux server?



> sessionInfo()

R version 2.2.0, 2005-10-06, i686-pc-linux-gnu



attached base packages:

[1] "methods"   "stats"     "graphics"  "grDevices" "utils"     "datasets"

[7] "base"



3)       I found that UniGene source URL always point to 'Homo sapiens' data
even for the organism other than 'Homo sapiens'. Is that true?



Thanks for your attention!
