Installing RnBeads via bioconductor - .onLoad failed in loadNamespace(), call: NULL
I have reported the error on support.bioconductor.org but we were not able to solve the problem. It seems that some dependencies are making problems, but as reinstalling my home R folder did not resolve the issue, I have come up with the following workaround:
I downloaded the latest R version from my favorite CRAN mirror, opened an R session with pathToNewR/bin/R from my terminal and installed RnBeads there. This works fine.
Note: I had to make sure that pathToNewR/library is the only entry in .libPaths(), as per default, my home R folder was also contained in .libPaths().
As a consequence, I am independent from the (maybe broken) R version and packages on my server and can finally work with RnBeads :)
