I'm having difficulty getting biomaRt getGO() to work.  Here is a typical session:

> library(biomaRt)

> mart <- useMart("ensembl", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
Checking attributes and filters ... ok

> g <- getGO(id=3064,type="entrezgene",mart=mart)
Error: ncol(result) == length(attributes) is not TRUE

I tried many variations of arguments to getGO and getGene.  I tried the examples in the help, but still got the same error.

If anyone had some suggestions, I would be most grateful.

Thanks much,
Dick
