[BioC] downloading problems

[Marcus Davy]

Works fine for me on an OS X machine running Panther 10.3.5 freshly installed with R-2.0.1
and the getBioC() script.

Since it looks like you cannot even access the exprs object in the Biobase package (does this still exist when quiting R and re-running it?), I would suggest that something is badly wrong with your install. Easiest to probably reinstall R as administrator and then install Bioconductor using the getBioC() script. As in my previous email on OS X installation I would install the binary XML package from the pull down menus before installing Bioconductor using getBioC.

Hi,

I think the problem is in the downloading of the contents of the packages,
when I enter library() the packages appear to be there, but then I can't
access them.

> library(Biobase)
Loading required package: tools
> library()
> library(golubEsets)
> hist(exprs(golubMerge))
Error in hist(exprs(golubMerge)) : couldn't find function "exprs"
> exprs(golubMerge)
Error: couldn't find function "exprs"

Data set 'geneData' not found in: data(geneData)
> data(geneCov)
Warning message:
Data set 'geneCov' not found in: data(geneCov)

I'm using the most recent getBioC() from the website, and have tried
downloading everything at once, as well as packages separately. I'm using a
Mac OSX 10.3 and have also tried turning off the firewall prior to
downloading, but that hasn't seemed to make a difference.

thanks,
Katie
