I have never managed to use "getBioC" to install bioconductor from a unix machine. I have appended my latest effort below: 1. Can you tell me what stupid thing I am doing wrong? 2. Why does getBioC ignore my attempt to specify the destination directory, notice it tries to write to /usr/local/lib which I don't have write priveleges to. I certainly do have write priveleges to the directory I've specified. 3. Any thoughts why it takes getBioC 3-4 minutes to give me this error message? I can download reposTools using cvs from this machine in just a few seconds, so internet speed doesn't seem to be the problem.

I'm not sure if the error is related to bugs regarding connections mentioned as fixed, according to the release notes for 1.7.1? best, -tony Gordon Smyth <smyth@wehi.edu.au> writes: > I have never managed to use "getBioC" to install bioconductor from a > unix machine.
