Greetings, I am having troubles getting R to work on a Mac OS X 10.5.6, Leopard. I have installed R 2.8.1 (R 2.8.1 GUI 1.27 Tiger build 32-bit) from a .dmg file using the Mac OS installer, and, apparently, everything went smoothly.
From R, I would like to install a few basic packages that I will need to run
in conjunction with "Agi4x44PreProcess" which I need to use to
preprocess my
cDNA microarray data. This is what I do from the R console:
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()
I do get a list of the packages that will be installed, but then the
system
hangs and I have to resort to a "Force Quit".
I get the same behaviour when I try the package installer, right
from the R
GUI. Again, I got a hang.
How long is the "hang"? Note that the installation can take a while depending on your connection since some of the packages are big. If R hangs for a while even installing one package, then there may be some problem with your internet connection. In that case you may want to download the files manually (e.g. thorough a proxy) and install them from local files. Cheers, Simon
I would greatly appreciate any suggestion toward the resolution of this problem. Yours, Massimo -- Massimo Pinto Post Doctoral Research Fellow Enrico Fermi Centre and Italian Public Health Research Institute (ISS), Rome http://claimid.com/massimopinto [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
