If you encounter problems, first make sure that you are running the latest version of getBioC() which can be found at: www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R Please direct any concerns or questions to bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch. Warning message: cannot open: HTTP status was `403 OK' Error in getReposTools(develOK, PLATFORM, destdir, method = method, bioCoption = bioCoption) : Could not get the required package reposTools Can anybody help me?

Then either try again with getBioC() or use the install.packages2 function in reposTools to install the parts of Bioconductor that you want. Are you picking up packages that were installed in your old version of R by any chance? You can use the function .libPaths() to see a list of paths where R is searching for packages. It won't print anything out, so assign to a variable like: z = .libPaths() z Does this error happen repeatedly in the same way? + seth
