Dear list, I have downloaded R 2.3 and bioconductor 1.8 devel but can't get the useMart function to work... is this the connection error Wolfgang was referring to earlier? Here's my code: library(biomaRt) Loading required package: XML Loading required package: RCurl > mart <- useMart("ensembl_mart_37") Error in curlPerform(curl = curl, .opts = opts) : couldn't connect to host If I try it the old way, this is what I get: mart <- martConnect() ############################################### This function will go out of use soon, please adapt by using the 'useMart' function instead. ############################################### Loading required package: RMySQL Loading required package: DBI connected to: ensembl_mart_37 Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f Nb. I have found posts in the archive with the same warning message as above (relating to the control word) but did not find any suggestions as to what to do about it. Should I be worrying about this warning? I can chose the species as follows: > listDatasets(mart) dataset version 1 agambiae_gene_ensembl AgamP3 2 amellifera_gene_ensembl AMEL2.0 3 btaurus_gene_ensembl Btau_2.0 4 cfamiliaris_gene_ensembl BROADD1 5 cintestinalis_gene_ensembl JGI2 6 dmelanogaster_gene_ensembl BDGP4 7 drerio_gene_ensembl ZFISH5 8 frubripes_gene_ensembl FUGU4 9 ggallus_gene_ensembl WASHUC1 10 hsapiens_gene_ensembl NCBI35 11 mdomestica_gene_ensembl BROADO2 12 mmulatta_gene_ensembl MMUL_0_1 13 mmusculus_gene_ensembl NCBIM34 14 ptroglodytes_gene_ensembl CHIMP1A 15 rnorvegicus_gene_ensembl RGSC3.4 16 scerevisiae_gene_ensembl SGD1 17 tnigroviridis_gene_ensembl TETRAODON7 18 xtropicalis_gene_ensembl JGI4 19 celegans_gene_ensembl CEL150 > mart <- useDataset(dataset = "agambiae_gene_ensembl", mart = mart) Reading database configuration of: agambiae_gene_ensembl Checking main tables ... ok Checking attributes and filters ... ok On the other hand if I try specifying the species with useMart this is what happens: > mart <- useMart("ensembl", dataset = "agambiae_gene_ensembl") Error in curlPerform(curl = curl, .opts = opts) : couldn't connect to host So it seems like RCurl is not working and biomaRt is still using RMySQL?

If so what should I do to get round it? I don't know if it is a firewall or not - I don't have a problem with ours, so I have no experience. However, try adding --internet2 to the target for your R shortcut, and see if you can run the postForm() example. If you really are having firewall problems, that may help (I know it is supposed to help with download.packages(), so it may well help here). If it doesn't help, then Duncan Temple Lang is probably the person to ask. He is the RCurl maintainer, so is the most likely person to have experience with this problem. Anyway, in my experience the RMySQL interface is faster, so if you have RMySQL installed, you can just add mysql = TRUE to your call to useMart() and all these problems will then be moot.

Hi Wolfgang, Just tried both of these and I get the same error: > mart=useMart("ensembl") Error in curlPerform(curl = curl, .opts = opts) : couldn't connect to host > mart=useMart(biomart="ensembl", dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl") Error in curlPerform(curl = curl, .opts = opts) : couldn't connect to host Also anytime I have put "useMart" in the argument at all it just comes up with that error. Any ideas?

Hi Amy, the following works for me: mart=useMart(biomart="ensembl", dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl") or mart=useMart("ensembl") listDatasets(mart) (see the man page of 'useMart'). Did the syntax you used ever work?
