[BioC] bioconductor install problem

[Amy Mikhail]

Hi Di Wu,

Right click on your R icon and go to the properties tab.  You should see
the file path written in the "target" box.  Add

 --internet2

to the end of the filepath (this goes after the quotation marks and don't
forget the 'space' before --internet2).

Cheers,
Amy

Dear list,

I have used bioconductor for several years. Recently, I moved to a new job
and wanted to install R and bioconductor in my new office pc. But I failed
to install bioconductor. R works well.

Could you help me out? Or give some suggestion?

I use Dell (normal) PC. Our institute uses Novell Network. I use IE and
Firefox both.

The following is what I got:


> source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Error in file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) :
        unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
unable to connect to 'www.bioconductor.org' on port 80.

Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1], dependencies = TRUE, type =
type) :

It seems there is problem to access internet. But I know my internet wokrs
well, but it requires to log in each time when you open a new IE, not need
to log in for Firefox.

Thanks,
Yours Di Wu
