Laura,
My first suggestion would be to go here:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/
This will give you instructions on how to make sure you are using the
most recent version of R in Ubuntu. Once you have upgraded to 9.2
(which I think is a good thing if you are using biocondctor), then try
to get Rgaphviz. Updating to 2.9 may also fix the biocinstall issue.
I have not used Rgraphviz before, so I am going to make a couple of
general suggestions. First, make sure you run install command as "sudo
R CMD INSTALL Rgraphviz --configure-args="--with-graphviz=/usr/share"
",
as you will need root access. I also do not think you need the
--with-graphviz option, because under Ubuntu, that is where prts of it
are installed.
If you installed graphviz from source, I would recommend the Ubuntu
packages. You may also need graphviz-dev and libgraphviz-dev packages
installed in order to compile things under R.
Let us know if you have further questions,
Michael
