Hello All Can anyone tell me why I get this error using Biomart? I am connected to the internet (as in I can install R packages). So is the Biomart website really down? I have been having this problem for at least 2 or 3 days. If I access http://www.biomart.org/ using a web browser it appears to be available. > listMarts() Error in value[[3L]](cond) : Request to BioMart web service failed. Verify if you are still connected to the internet. Alternatively the BioMart web service is temporarily down. If I access http://www.biomart.org/ using a web browser it appears to be available. Any suggestions as to what is going on or things to try are very welcome.

Hi James Thanks for the reply. That is useful to know it is probably not the biomart end. I have run a traceback() and results are below. I have also updated my sessionInfo() as that has changed. (I think I will also contact our IT department to see if something has changed). Regards John > > > listMarts() Error in value[[3L]](cond) : Request to BioMart web service failed.

Hi John, I had some similar trouble with RCurl_0.95-1, but everything worked fine again when I rolled back to RCurl_0.94-1. The command listMarts() would work, but getBM() gave me a similar error.

Hi Steve All useful information. I notice there were some messages in the forum about problems with biomaRT/RCurl in the development version but I assumed that was not much to do with my problem. I have gone in the other direction with RCurl_0.97-3 in the hope it would fix it. Obviously the wrong direction! I am not sure how to get hold of an older version of a package - RCurl_0.94-1. I'll go and have an explore. Do you build it from source?

Hi Paul The same combination as me - the major difference is I am on Windows and you are on Linux. But James below was running from Windows with the same versions. Thanks for the information. Does anybody know how I can get an earlier version of RCurl? I have had a look around but cannot find any. (Not even source code.)

I notice there were some messages in the forum about problems with biomaRT/RCurl in the development version but I assumed that was not much to do with my problem. I have gone in the other direction with RCurl_0.97-3 in the hope it would fix it. Obviously the wrong direction! I am not sure how to get hold of an older version of a package - RCurl_0.94-1. I'll go and have an explore. Do you build it from source?

MacDonald; bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [BioC] biomaRt not working? Hi John, I had some similar trouble with RCurl_0.95-1, but everything worked fine again when I rolled back to RCurl_0.94-1. The command listMarts() would work, but getBM() gave me a similar error.
