Hello, I’m having trouble installing packages to RStudio on [galaxy.eu](http://galaxy.eu). I would like to install [SNPRelate](https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SNPRelate.html) and its dependent package [gdsfmt](https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/gdsfmt.html). I tried following the instructions in RStudio to use conda install : `conda install -c bioconda bioconductor-gdsfmt` but got the following error : Error: unexpected symbol in “conda install” Not sure what I’m doing wrong here. I also tried installing the package using biocManager: `BiocManager::install("gdsfmt")` but that led to the following error: /bin/sh: 1: x86\_64-conda-linux-gnu-c++: not found make: \*\*\* [/opt/miniconda/lib/R/etc/Makeconf:177: R\_CoreArray.o] Error 127 ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘gdsfmt’ - removing ‘/opt/miniconda/lib/R/library/gdsfmt’ I appreciate any advice on how to install these packages that I need for my analysis. Thanks! ---

May I know if you have solved this problem? I am encountering the same problem now. Thanks! ---

Same here. Would be nice to get an answer. I have that issue for several packages, such as zen4R. ---

I unfortunately never got an answer so decided to do this on my local version of RStudio. ---

Too bad. There is not much you can do with an RStudio instance if you cannot install packages… my error msg: ```auto Configuration failed to find the libv8 engine library. Try installing: * deb: libv8-dev or libnode-dev (Debian / Ubuntu) * rpm: v8-devel (Fedora, EPEL) * brew: v8 (OSX) * csw: libv8_dev (Solaris) Alternatively, on Linux (x86_64) or MacOS you can set environment variable: DOWNLOAD_STATIC_LIBV8=1 to automatically download a static version of libv8. To use a custom libv8, set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via: R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...' ---------------------------[ERROR MESSAGE]---------------------------- ./configure: 97: x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-c++: not found ``` ---

Yeah, those are the limits for now. We host at the public servers mostly for training purposes. Getting set up with a local Galaxy is one choice – can move data up to a public site when want to work with regular tools. This may change but is how it works for now 🙂
