Hi my primary goal is to use DiffBind to analyze my ChIPseq data.
Following the suggestion that I might need to update my DiffBind I tried to install a new version of it.
By the checking the dependency of DiffBind I guess that the previous installation automatically install an old version of DiffBind because my R did not meet the requirement of current version of DiffBind.
But I was using the R under the root directory, for which I could not do much about it. So I decided install a newer version of R under my own directory. and I managed to do that.
Then I tried to install the current version of DiffBind, I got the error
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘RcppArmadillo’
It turned out the dependency lib "RcppArmadillo" require a more up-to-date compiler, again, I was using the gcc compiler under the root directory, so I install a new version of gcc under my own directory.
$ gcc --version

$ which gcc
/$HOME/Programme/gcc-6.1.0/bin//gcc
After that I tried to install the DiffBind (RcppArmadillo) again, but met another error:

it turned out that "gfortran" could not be found. but when I checked existence of "gfortran" it exist:
$ which gfortran
/usr/bin/gfortran
$ gfortran --version

So I assumed that gcc could not find gfortran, which is under the root directory, how could I solve the problem? Or could it be possible that the mismatch between the gcc and gfortran is the problem? if that is the case, what could be done to circumvent it? Anyone has any idea please kindly let me know. Thanks a lot in advance.

Check the version numbers. You're using gcc 6.1 but the gfortran you have is from gcc 4.7. If you compiled gcc from source, you have to make sure you enabled the fortran compiler. You may also have to make sure that its C standard library is used by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. See for example here.
@Jean-Karim Heriche. Yes, I am recompiling gcc from the source with fortran enabled. The "make" command takes very long time to finish... but I guess it would work out. Really appreciate your suggestion.
