Dear Madam/Sir, I am a user of the R programm at the BF2i laboratory in Lyon. We are doing research on the microarrays, and use BioConductor for analyzing our results. I have installed the new version of R 1,9,1 and wished to install the new version of Bioconductor too. The coputer I am working with is a Mac and fulfills all the demanded caracteristics of the installation. But I have encountered some problems while downloading the libraries. Libraries like marray and some other are downloaded but "cannot be installed for they are not in any repository". I would appreciate if you could help me solve this problem. Sincerely Alexandra DUMITRU

Can you cut & paste some of the relevant output from your session? - I'm not super familiar w/ the Mac style R, so my terminology is probably incorrect here, but are you using the R-aqua or the unix-style R? That could make a big difference. > the libraries. Libraries like marray and some other are downloaded but > "cannot be installed for they are not in any repository". I would I don't currently see a problem w/ the repository, using R-1.9.1, I just did a BioC install and all went well, including marray. Could you give more details? Thanks -J
