Error in function "open_loom"

[Beyondvisible]

Hi,
I converted a seurat object to a loom file, and tried to open the loom file in R.
But, I just faced an error with "open_loom" function.

loom <- open_loom(loomPath, mode="r")
Error in H5File.open(filename, mode, file_create_pl, file_access_pl) :
HDF5-API Errors:
error #000: c:/msys64/home/Jeroen/hdf5-1.8.16/src/H5F.c in H5Fopen(): line 591: invalid file name
class: HDF5
major: Invalid arguments to routine
minor: Bad value

I tried this command after removing the loom file in my global environment, but I got the same error messages again.
All the packages in my R are updated.

Hi @Two-J ,
It seems you are using HDF5 library version 1.8 while version 1.10.1 is at least required. I would recommend you to update your HDF5 library and then do a fresh reinstall of SCopeLoomR

[Beyondvisible]

@dweemx
Oh, thank you for your quick reply!
Btw, do I need to install new version of HDF5 binary code package to update HDF5 library version?
Sorry, since I am very new here, step-by-step instructions would save my life..! Thanks for your time.

[dweemx]

You can install a new HDF5 library like this:

wget https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.10.1.tar
cd hdf5-1.10.1
./configure
make -j4
make check
make install

And then check you have the new version installed:

h5stat --version

@dweemx
I am currently trying to use SCENIC in R environment.
But, in order to update HDF5, then do I need to install python and enter the commands you described above?

Thanks for your generous help.

[dweemx]

Why would you need to install python ?
These bash commands should be run in a terminal
