Hi,
I've been asked to try methylaction to test some MEDIPS data. The installation fails with the following error:

Hi lindenb,
Thanks for posting about this issue. I am able to run install_github("jeffbhasin/goldmine") successfully from the same version of R, also on linux. Are you still having this issue? What version of devtools are you using? I've not seen a segfault from install_github() before. If the issue persists, you could try downloading the package with "git clone" to a local directory, and trying to install using install_local().
