It is some type of Mac-only problem that happened in Seattle at the source. Just google for the term and you should get in the first two hits a good answer about it.

Can you send the command that caused the error, as well as the full error code and the output of sessionInfo()?

What if you try this command: download.file("http://google.com", tempfile()) Does it work, or produce an error? If it produces an error, try starting R as follows: R --internet2 And then try biocLite() again. Let us know what happens.

The recommended way to install Bioconductor packages, and the only method we support and can troubleshoot, is: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("pkgName") Also, to rule out any problems with mirrors, you should run chooseCRANmirror() and chooseBioCmirror() and choose Switzerland and USA (WA 1) respectively.

Hello Where and what should I download a table containing human HUGO gene names and exon_id such as 2372, 2371. I used GenomicFeatures, but it seemed not include the HUGO names. Thanks.

Hi John, If you want to get your questions answered, a good strategy is to put new questions into a new thread. That way the rest of us can tell that there is a new question even if we are not following this particular thread. To answer your question, you can get HUGO gene symbols from the org packages as SYMBOL mappings or by requesting the SYMBOL column from a call to the select() method. If you are using the GenomicFeatures package and the gene names are entrez gene IDs (something that is typical but NOT guaranteed for all tracks since it ulitmately depends on the track that the annotation is based on), then you could get the HUGO symbols like this: geneIDs = c(2372, 2371) library("org.Hs.eg.db") select(org.Hs.eg.db, keys=geneIDs, cols="SYMBOL", keytype="ENTREZID") Marc On 06/01/2012 09:02 AM, John linux-user wrote: > Hello > > Where and what should I download a table containing human HUGO gene names and exon_id such as 2372, 2371.
