I'm trying to install Biostrings with R 2.14.1 that I just installed on my iMac running 10.7.3. It does not seem to be working: perpetual spinning disk in Package Installer window. Have others experienced problems with newer R versions? thanks, Tom MMI DNA Services Core Facility<http: www.ohsu.edu="" xd="" research="" research-cores="" dna-analysis=""/> 503-494-2442 kellert at ohsu.edu<http: ohsu.edu=""> Office: 6588 RJH (CROET/BasicScience) OHSU Shared Resources<http: www.ohsu.edu="" xd="" research="" research-="" cores="" index.cfm=""> [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

It doesn't sound like you are installing Biostrings in the recommended way, which is: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("Biostrings") If that doesn't work, please include the output of sessionInfo() in your reply.

That's a short report... What did you check exactly? Did you check using the "Activity Monitor" application that there's some network traffic? The package installer does not always refresh when downloading packages. Did you try to not use the package installer, i.e. run it manually as described there: http://bioconductor.org/install/? You might want to check out the chooseBioCmirror() function as well to select a mirror closer to your location.
