Hi Ashley,

What is the result of the following command:

library(BiocInstaller)
biocinstallRepos()


?

Never mind,

The problem is that you are using the Mavericks build which is not yet supported. Please use the Snow Leopard build of R.

See this link for more information:

Hej Dan!

With regards to this, do you have any timeline - since you got Maverick machines now :-) - as to when Maverick will be supported? 

As a feedback, compiling R and installing from source on Maverick has been fairly stable for me - just recently encountered a problem with compiling mzR but got a workaround from the package developers - and this since Maverick is out (October last year).

Cheers,

Nico

Hi Nico,

----- Original Message -----
We have ordered the machines. I have just asked for an update on the order status. As soon as the machines arrive, are configured, and start building, we'll be able to support binary Mavericks packages. We'll make an announcement on this list. 

Note that even CRAN's builds of Mavericks packages are not complete and this may impact Bioconductor's builds, but we'll work with CRAN to resolve this.
Yes, it's mostly a (lack of) hardware problem, not a technical one.
