Hi list, I found in bioconductor release information that biomaRt package is currently not available for Windows. Could anyone tell me whether there is a way to have current biomaRt source package installed on Windows XP, or the windows version of biomaRt will be released soon? I use R 2.2.0. Thanks, Wuming

You might try contacting the package maintainer (see the DESCRIPTION file inside the source package). He has had success building Windows binaries of the package by hand. We have not, yet, had success building the package as part of our automated build process. Best, + seth

Hi Wuming, I've made a Windows version of biomaRt available here: http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~sdurinck/biomaRt_1.5.1.zip Make sure you have installed the DBI and RMySQL packages from here: http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download/ and that you've copied the dll files of the RMySQL/libs directory to the R/bin directory or included the RMySQL/libs directory in your PATH environment variable before running biomaRt. I will check with the repository to see how we can make the Windows version again available through the Bioconductor website. best, Steffen Durinck > Hi list, > > I found in bioconductor release information that biomaRt package is > currently not available for Windows.
