Installation failed

[timz0605]

Hello!

I was trying to install the package using BiocManager::install("rhdf5"), but have been encountering this issue. I am trying to install the package through R 4.2.1 on HPC. Even though I specified the version using the command BiocManager::install("rhdf5", version = "3.16"), I still could not install the package successfully. Would appreciate any help!

Hi,

It looks like the package affected is actually Rhdf5lib, and because that can't be installed you then can't use rhdf5.

To figure out what's going wrong with Rhdf5lib I'll need to see quite a bit more of the installation output. Can you try running this command below, and then share all the output that appears on the screen. There will be quite a lot, but hopefully it'll contain the underlying problem:

BiocManager::install('Rhdf5lib')
