I used select command to get information from "org.Hs.eg.db" package, consider code bellow : 

library(org.Hs.eg.db)
select(org.Hs.eg.db,key="GAPDH",columns = c("ENTREZID"),keytype = "SYMBOL")

 

but after run it, I received error :

Warning message:
In readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) :
  cannot open compressed file '', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in get(load(file)) : 
  error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'get': Error in readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) : cannot open the connection

I have no idea what to do.

also the output of sessionInfo() after running library(org.Hs.eg.db) is as follow :

Thanks for updating with the sessionInfo, are you running R from the terminal and did you try running it in "vanilla mode"? In the terminal you just type: R --vanilla

What is the output of traceback() after the error is thrown?

Something strange is going on ... if the vanilla trick doesn't work, you could also try to reinstall a couple of the relevant packages, perhaps:

R> library("BiocInstaller")
R> biocLite(c('AnnotationDbi', 'org.Hs.eg.db'))

I'm using RStudio not from terminal.

how can I run it in vanilla mode? I typed "R --vanilla" in the terminal a text that was about version of my R, copyright, ... printed.

the output of traceback() is as follow : 

            7: get(load(file))
           6: .warnAboutManyToOneRelationships(cols)
           5: .legacySelect(x, keys, cols, keytype, jointype)
           4: .select(x, keys, columns, keytype, jointype = jointype)
           3: .selectWarnJT(x, keys, columns, keytype, jointype = jointype, 
                  kt = kt, ...)
           2: select(org.Hs.eg.db, key = "GAPDH", columns = "UNIPROT", keytype = "SYMBOL")
           1: select(org.Hs.eg.db, key = "GAPDH", columns = "UNIPROT", keytype = "SYMBOL")

Yes, in the terminal, you type:

R --vanilla

And then you see the R copyright notice followed by the R prompt:

>

At that prompt you can type commands so try again your initial commands:

 

library(org.Hs.eg.db)
select(org.Hs.eg.db,key="GAPDH",columns = c("ENTREZID"),keytype = "SYMBOL")

If that doesn't work, then try reinstalling packages as suggested above.

It also appears that some of your packages are "too new" for your version of R/Bioconductor.

So you should either update to R-3.2.0 and Bioconductor 3.1, or run

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocValid()

...and run the commands that are suggested.

Can you please update your question by copy/pasting the output from sessionInfo() after you've run library(org.Hs.eg.db)?

You might also try starting R like so: R --vanilla in case you've got some .Rdata file that is being loaded on startup that might be hosing something.
