I was learning RNA-seq analysis following the RNA-seq workflow: gene-level exploratory analysis and differential expression.
I came to the step of constructing a TxDb:
gtffile <- file.path(dir,"Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.75_subset.gtf")

Import genomic features from the file as a GRanges object ... OK
Prepare the 'metadata' data frame ... OK
Make the TxDb object ... Warning messages:

Error in dbGetQuery(conn, SQL) :
error in evaluating the argument 'conn' in selecting a method for function 'dbGetQuery': Error in get(name, envir = asNamespace(pkg), inherits = FALSE) :

and:

I guess that I could not ignore the error (and warning?)
Some people also had similar problem with makeTxDbFromGFF
https://support.bioconductor.org/p/70695/
he solved his problem through installing a new version of R and GenomicFeatures, but I don't think that could apply to my problem, for both my R and GenomicFeatures are new:

Could anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks very much!
Sorry I forgot to paste the traceback()

Sorry that if some necessary information is left out, please kindly let me know if any further information is needed to evaluate the problem.

It looks like GenomicFeatures has some problems, at least on Linux. You have a mix of bioconductor 3.1 (e.g., GenomicFeatures) and 3.2 (e.g., IRanges) packages, which is probably causing the problem.
Yes, actually,that is the problem.
Thank you very much. Ryan.
