Hello
I was trying to install a new Bioconductor package,using "biocLite" on my Mac but failed.
biocLite("Rcade")
'BiocInstaller' package not in repository
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc, using
'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc'
Error: 'BiocInstaller' package not in repository http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc
I think I managed to narrow it down to having to upgrade Bioconductor, because I haven't used it in a while. However, when I tried to use biocLite("BiocUpgrade"), I get the following error (which is basically the same).
'BiocInstaller' package not in repository http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc, using 'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc' Error: 'BiocInstaller' package not in repository http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc.
Having looked it up, I now that someone else had exactly the same problem, but in theory the solution was upgrading to the newest R version, but I'm already running R 3.1.1. I do realise that I need to change the contributing url. However I do manage to do that? the argument is embedded deep into the biocInstaller and I do not seem to be able to do it. It feels like a circular problem than in order to fix the problem, I need to fix it.
thank you for your help!
Ana
