Got error when installing in M1 chip mac

[jianhong]

When I install the package, I got call to undeclared function 'get_XStringSet_width'.

Here is the details:

BiocManager::install('Bioconductor/pwalign')
'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see
'help("repositories", package = "BiocManager")' for details.

Make sure you have the latest Biostrings i.e. version 2.71.5. Note that pwalign requires Biostrings >= 2.71.5. However, a serious design flaw in R CMD INSTALL is that it checks for version requirements after compilation, when it should actually do this before doing anything else.

Thanks! It works!
