HI, I recently switch from WIN XP to Max OS. When I tried to install Bioconductor using > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocLite() I got some errors like below. I repeated this installation at different days, but had the same error. .......... Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) : argument is missing, with no default In addition: Warning message: downloaded length 2004432 != reported length 7965688 gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Read 3299 bytes from /tmp/Rtmp5yiMR7/downloaded_packages/hgu95av2_1.14.0.tgz tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Does anyone know what is wrong? I really appreciate. Xiaowei ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ Need Mail bonding?

Hi Xiaowei, can you reproduce the error? I think this might just be a fluke. It wasn't able to download the file properly and then complained about it. I can download the file correctly from here, so I don't think it's a problem with the bioconductor web server. As Tony said, please include the result from sessionInfo() if you still have problems.

Can you give us the output from sessionInfo(). We need a bit more information to see if we can duplicate your error. --Tony On 3/21/07, Howard Zhang <howard50003250 at="" yahoo.com=""> wrote: > HI, > > I recently switch from WIN XP to Max OS.
