Hi, Am working on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Just installed R 2.11.1. Tried to install the base packages of Bioconductor with : source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite() R hangs while downloading the various modules. Have tried it multiple times (after multiple reinstalls of R) - no success. Anybody else having this problem?

There is no evidence of a problem at the bioc server end, so you need to consider your network connectivity. Try to work within R, using install.packages, to acquire something small like install.packages("ash") R "hanging" might indicate that you don't have sufficient connectivity to complete the transaction; it is not a bioconductor issue.

For what it's worth, the Fred Hutch mirror does seem to be agonizingly slow for me at the moment. I switched to the Bethesda mirror with chooseBioCMirror and setRepositories and it is installing at normal speed. Could be worth a try.

Also, if you are running R using the R.app GUI, I believe it just looks like it's doing nothing when all the install process is going on. It's actually been a long time since I used the GUI (I just run through terminal, or emacs), so I'm not sure if this is your problem, but I remember it doing that back when I was first using "it" (the GUI) and getting into R. -steve On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Hollis Wright <wrighth at="" ohsu.edu=""> wrote: > For what it's worth, the Fred Hutch mirror does seem to be agonizingly slow for me at the moment.

Sorry for not finishing that thought, but in short: try running R through the terminal to see if it reports installation progress better. -steve On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 3:14 PM, Steve Lianoglou <mailinglist.honeypot at="" gmail.com=""> wrote: > Also, if you are running R using the R.app GUI, I believe it just > looks like it's doing nothing when all the install process is going > on. > > It's actually been a long time since I used the GUI (I just run > through terminal, or emacs), so I'm not sure if this is your problem, > but I remember it doing that back when I was first using "it" (the > GUI) and getting into R. > > -steve > > On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Hollis Wright <wrighth at="" ohsu.edu=""> wrote: >> For what it's worth, the Fred Hutch mirror does seem to be agonizingly slow for me at the moment.

Thanks all. It does seem to have been a connectivity issue after all. The base package was installed after an hour's wait. Yes, Steve I was using the R GUI; interestingly R was showing as "not responding" on the activitiy monitor as well.
