Hello, Long time reader of this list, first time posting... I'm upgrading to R 1.9.1, and subsequently updating BioC via getBioC version 1.2.61 on RH9. Upon installation, I get: gzip: /usr/lib/R/library/reposTools_1.4.2.tar.gz: not in gzip format examination of the getBioC.R downloaded file /usr/lib/R/library/reposTools_1.4.2.tar.gz shows it is an html error page. I can manually download reposTools_1.4.2.tar.gz and do an 'R CMD INSTALL ./reposTools_1.4.2.tar.gz' to circumvent this problem, but there appears to be a broken link in the BioC.R script somewhere around 'sourceUrl <- getDLURL("reposTools", PACKAGES, platform)' Perhaps I overlooked something, but I think the getBioC.R script is broken in the manner described. -Michael -- Michael Janis, UCLA Biochemistry / Bioinformatics Graduate Student Every message PGP signed.
