I am trying to install R package SAIGE in my home directory on the cluster and I am getting an error:
/lib64/libc.so.6: version not found. I have no problem installing this package on my desktop computer. What do I do wrong?
Is this the precise error you are getting - it is always best to copy the relevant text here - but it sounds as if you are trying to install a precompiled/binary R package (as opposed to compiling it from source) and that it was compiled on an operating system that is newer then what the cluster is running. If so you should compile it from source. This is almost always achieved with install.packages() command in R.
The SAIGE installation instructions say
R CMD INSTALL SAIGE_0.XX_R_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
but that means that the binary provided in the tarball is tied to the architecture of the machine on which the binary was build before packaging.
NOTE: I will expand upon this answer when I get more time.
This problem often occurs, when this package is being installed using binaries into Linux environment running Centos6. The source code for this package is not available. There is some work around possible - like installing it within a container (i.e. singularity with Centos7) if it is available on the system.
