Hello! I am trying to install the 'gwascat' package, from Bioconductor, for RStudio without success. I'd like to repeat the 23andMe data analysis protocol I found, but I can't even install the first required package. The closest post I could find figuring out my error is a tangential StackOverflow question. My first attempt was a typical install at the R Terminal in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

install.packages("gwascat")

Here's the output for that command:
Installing package into ‘/home/david/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘gwascat’ is not available (for R version 3.2.3)

Here's the attempt to install the required dependencies along with gwascat at the R Terminal in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

install.packages("gwascat", dependencies=TRUE)

^I got the exact same error message as the ">install.packages("gwascat") command, so I didn't bother copying the error output again.

I also tried the same commands in RStudio:

install.packages("gwascat")

The RStudio console prints a much longer series of errors for the same command:

I also tried updating my version of R to the latest version. When I first encountered the failure to install 'gwascat' my version of R was 3.2.3. I updated my version of R to 3.4.4 with the help of this StackOverflow question. BUT, I still got the same error as before "package 'gwascat' is not available (for R version 3.4.4)".

Then I tried to follow the official Bioconductor 'gwascat' installation instructions.

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

Bioconductor seems to be installed fine:
Bioconductor version 3.6 (BiocInstaller 1.28.0), ?biocLite for help A new version of Bioconductor is available after installing the most recent version of R; see   http://bioconductor.org/install

biocLite("gwascat")

The error messages for biocLite("gwascat") are long:

Any ideas on how I can install gwascat? I've got my raw 23andMe data and I'm excited to get to analyze it!

Best, David

For the XML package to compile, you will need the xml libraries and header files (sudo apt install libxml2-dev) installed. The error message doesn't say that! Other packages might require additional libraries. You could try installing one failing package at a time and once they are installed successfully, you can try installing gwascat again.
