Hi, I am unable to install packages on my R 2.12.0 Windows 7 machine. Here are the relevant lines:
sessionInfo() R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") BioC_mirror = http://www.bioconductor.org Change using chooseBioCmirror(). > biocLite("Biobase") Using R version 2.12.0, biocinstall version 2.7.4. Installing Bioconductor version 2.7 packages: [1] "Biobase" Please wait... Error: subscript out of bounds > traceback() 7: .readPkgDesc(lib, fields) 6: installed.packages(lib.loc = libpath, fields = c("Package", "Version")) 5: getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) 4: .install.winbinary(pkgs = pkgs, lib = lib, contriburl = contriburl, method = method, available = available, destdir = destdir, dependencies = dependencies, libs_only = libs_only, ...) 3: install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, repos = repos, ...) at biocinstall.R#205 2: biocinstall(pkgs = pkgs, groupName = groupName, ...) at biocLite.R#5 1: biocLite("Biobase") It doesn't matter if I use biocLite, or just install.packages(), I get the same error. I did a re-install of R, but that didn't help. I'm hoping someone else has seen this error and might have a suggestion. Thanks very much, Dick ******************************************************************************* Richard P. Beyer, Ph.D. University of Washington Tel.:(206) 616 7378 Env. & Occ.
