Dear list,

Hello! My name is Allen Shore, a graduate student at Wistar
Institute in Philadelphia. I am trying to use cghFLasso to
analyze a bunch of Affy SNP array data for identifying
copy number variations.

I had no problem with installing cghFLasso package on
windows desketop. But I did have trouble with installing
on the server (unix system).

I tried two servers and got the following errors.

For Server1:

[shoreallen at madison download]$ R CMD INSTALL cghFLasso_0.1-2.tar.gz
* Installing to library '/home/allen/lib/R'
* Installing *source* package 'cghFLasso' ...
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter:
Permission denied
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'cghFLasso'
** Removing '/home/allen/lib/R/cghFLasso'


For Server2, I got:

-bash-3.00$ R CMD INSTALL cghFLasso_0.1-2.tar.gz
* Installing to library '/home/allen/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.6'
ERROR: failed to lock directory
'/mnt/sc03/genomics/home/allen/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.6'
for modifying
Try removing '/mnt/sc03/genomics/home/allen/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.6/00LOCK'


I then tried I tried:
R CMD INSTALL -l /home/allen/lib/R//home/allen/download/cghFLasso_0.1-2.tar.gz

and got:

-bash-3.00$ R CMD INSTALL -l /home/allen/lib/R/
/home/allen/download/cghFLasso_0.1- 2.tar.gz
* Installing *source* package 'cghFLasso' ...
 R_HOME is /usr/lib64/R
Attempting to determine R_ARCH...
R_ARCH is
Attempting to detect how R was configured for Fortran 90....
    Unsupported Fortran 90 compiler or Fortran 90
    compilers unavailable! Stop!
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'cghFLasso'
** Removing '/mnt/sc03/genomics/home/allen/lib/R/cghFLasso'

Seems that if there is a problem with Fortran 90?

I also asked the help from the server admini. He also got the same error
message as I had.

He looked through the R configuration options for FORTRAN in the R that
is in his homedir.

The R documentation says this:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Using-FORTRAN

In /home/chekh/src/R-2.6.0/config.log he has:
...
 Fortran 77 compiler:       g77  -g -O2

 C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2
 Fortran 90/95 compiler:    g77 -g -O2
...

g77 (part of GCC) is the only FORTRAN compiler installed on cytosine,
and that should be sufficient.

Does anybody has experience of installing cghFLasso and can offer any
clue for this?

Thank you very much and look forward to your reply!

Sincerely,
      Allen
