Q:

Error in installing flowCore package R

I am trying to install flowCore package (Bioconductor 3.4) in R 3.3.2 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). But I am getting following error. Can anybody suggest some solution thanks.

A:

Similarly afflicted (except on MacOSX) I find that I can successfully install from github, as:
library(devtools)
install_github("RGLab/flowCore",ref='trunk')

FWIW, the issue is more aptly resolved in MacOS by installing R using the CRAN build of R, instead of from homebrew, as I had previously.
