[adegenet-forum] Problem installation on Ubuntu

[Jombart, Thibaut]

Makes sense. In general, an 'update.packages(ask=FALSE)' is good policy before installing new stuff. Bear in mind, though, that attached packages won't generally be updated.
Cheers

Hi Thibaut,

I tried to reproduce the problem. Complete removal of the igraph package
and R. Then after installing R, installing adegenet. igraph is then also
installed as dependency and adegenet goes fine as well.

So, I'm guessing that I had either an old or somehow corrupted version
of igraph. When installing adegenet, this old/corrupted version of
igraph could not be loaded properly and thus adegenet could not be
installed.

Let's hope that nobody else is experiencing this problem or than at
least finds this threat.

Cheers,
Samuel
