I attempted to use GEOquery in R 2.10.0 today. I'm running Windows
XP.
======================
> source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
> biocLite("GEOquery")
Using R version 2.10.0, biocinstall version 2.5.8.
Installing Bioconductor version 2.5 packages:
[1] "GEOquery"
Please wait...
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package 'GEOquery' is not available
======================
Checking the GEOquery package page
(http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.5/bioc/html/GEOquery.html)
I see that the Windows binary is indeed listed as "Not available".
Checking the vignette, mailing list, and a Google search didn't
provide any 2.10.0-specific information that I saw.
Are there plans for releasing a new Windows binary for GEOquery?

Hi Scott,
Sean Davis responded to me on Bioc-devel about this problem. However
the
Bioc-devel archives report his email as "
"An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed..."
so I guess that is why google doesn't find it. His response on
Nov-25-2009 was:

Wondering if it maybe come available soon as I generally work on
Windows and have used your package very successfully on R-2.9.2,
I've made some changes to the vignette in the hopes that it will build
fast enough to become available again. I don't have any idea why the
Windows build is slower than that on Linux or MacOS, but that appears
to
be the case, resulting in a timeout in the vignette build process. In
the meantime, the package can almost certainly be installed from
source
on Windows IF you have the capability of doing that.

Hope that helps,

And having the capability to build packages on Windows is now almost
trivial. See

packages-into-libraries-in-this-version_003f

We believe we have now identified the cause of the problem for
GEOquery
on Windows. At issue is the use of base::seek which is not reliable
on
Windows. So while installing on Windows from source will work, not
all
package functionality will work as desired.
We are working with Sean to fix things by avoiding seek.

As far as I know, I have fixed these issues. Thanks to Martin and the
folks in Seattle for identifying the source of the problem.
A new version of GEOquery is now available. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
