[BioC] help with KEGG or KEGGSOAP

[Nianhua Li]

Dear Alan,

It is possible to do it in R but not in a easy way. There are a data 
package "KEGG" and a software package "KEGGSOAP". Currently none of them can 
solve your problem. KEGG (the database in Japan) updated their Web Service API 
on Oct 4th, 2006, and added several new methods 
including "search_compounds_by_mass". We haven't updated KEGGSOAP 
correspondingly. The error you got with KEGGSOAP may also because of the API 
update. I will try update KEGGSOAP early next week. But if you are in a hurry, 
actually you can use SSOAP to access KEGG Web Service API. Sorry that I don't 
have a clear solution right now...

thanks for the report and best wishes
