    R package installation problem

    Hi,

    I am trying to install the rgl package on my Mac, but I keep failing!

    I tried to install the package directly through R:

    $ install.package(rgl)

    The process stops because of the firewall the company I am working for, and I do not have the privilege to change anything about that.

    I then tried to do the installation through Terminal:

    $ R CMD INSTALL rgz.version.tar.gz

    The output is correct until the last line, in which this appears: configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’
    * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/rgl’
    * restoring previous ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/rgl’

    I tried the same with all the rgl version from the 0.70 to the last one, and had the exact same problem.

    I do have X11 installed and upgraded.

    I am working on a Mac OSX 10.6.8.

    Thanks a lot!

    PS. Also alternatives softwares ideas to plot in 3d pca results are welcome (while I try to solve the problem, I can at least check out my results!)

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
