Subject: [Bioc-devel] fatal error when installing BioC devel on R devel

Dear Sirs,

When trying to install the devel version of Bioconductor on a clean
install
of R devel I got the following errors:

*source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R
<http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R>")*
*Warning in install.packages :*

'install.packages("BiocInstaller",*
*  repos="http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.14/bioc
<http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.14/bioc>")'*

Next, I tried:
*install.packages("BiocInstaller",repos="http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.14/bioc
<http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.14/bioc>", type="source")*

I then tried to install the default packages and the Gviz package:

*source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R
<http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R>")*
*Bioconductor version 2.14 (BiocInstaller 1.13.3), ?biocLite for
help*

*biocLite()*
*Error: 'no packages in repository (no internet connection?)' while
trying

<http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.14/bioc>*

*biocLite("Gviz")*
*Error: 'no packages in repository (no internet connection?)' while
trying
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.14/bioc
<http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.14/bioc>*

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here? Or is it a
Bioconductor
issue?

I am using Windows 7 64 bits and have no firewall enabled. Several
other
(non-devel) versions of R and Bioconductor work find on this machine.
The
problem occurs in both the 64bits and 32bits version of R devel.

Thanks for any help!

We've added some symlinks to enable this to work now. Try again and let us know if you run into any problems.
Dan

Best wishes,
Martin
