I attempted to use GEOquery in R 2.10.0 today. I'm running Windows XP. ====================== > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocLite("GEOquery") Using R version 2.10.0, biocinstall version 2.5.8. Installing Bioconductor version 2.5 packages: [1] "GEOquery" Please wait... Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package 'GEOquery' is not available ====================== Checking the GEOquery package page (http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.5/bioc/html/GEOquery.html) I see that the Windows binary is indeed listed as "Not available". Checking the vignette, mailing list, and a Google search didn't provide any 2.10.0-specific information that I saw. Are there plans for releasing a new Windows binary for GEOquery?

Hi Scott, Sean Davis responded to me on Bioc-devel about this problem. However the Bioc-devel archives report his email as " "An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed..." so I guess that is why google doesn't find it. His response on Nov-25-2009 was: On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 6:33 PM, Keith Satterley <keith at="" wehi.edu.au="" <mailto:keith="" at="" wehi.edu.au="">> wrote: Hi Sean, I was reading your response to Amit Mandal's query re normalization of affy data and it prompted me to check my installation of GEOquery on R-2.10.0 on my Windows box and of course you know that it is not available at the moment.

I don't have any idea why the Windows build is slower than that on Linux or MacOS, but that appears to be the case, resulting in a timeout in the vignette build process.

And having the capability to build packages on Windows is now almost trivial.

See > > http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Can-I -install-packages-into-libraries-in-this-version_003f We believe we have now identified the cause of the problem for GEOquery on Windows. At issue is the use of base::seek which is not reliable on Windows. So while installing on Windows from source will work, not all package functionality will work as desired. We are working with Sean to fix things by avoiding seek. + seth -- Seth Falcon Program in Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

As far as I know, I have fixed these issues. Thanks to Martin and the folks in Seattle for identifying the source of the problem. A new version of GEOquery is now available. Sorry for the inconvenience. Sean
