[BioC] Install problem of some BioConductor packages under linux R session

[buhard Ceph]

Hi all,



I encounter some problems while trying to install BioConductor packages under R for Linux (perhaps as a new Bioconductor user, and not a linux expert !).

I've downloaded the tar.gz file sources of Bioconductor and successfully installed a part of the bundle... but installation stops at 'hexbin', with an error indicating '-lreadline' is nof found, as reported here :



After R CMD INSTALL treated 'graph' package, I get the following messages :

* Installing *source* package 'hexbin' ...

None of all subsequent packages is installed then.

Maybe there's something missing on my OS (mdk 9, kernel 2.4.19-24) ? Or a library with a bad (or missing) path declaration ? what else ?

Any help greatly appreciated

thanks in advance.
