[BioC] Fwd: problems when trying to use biomaRt

[Sean Davis]

Dear Sean,


Theres is no error message at all, simply R is not responding anymore.
when loading library(biomaRt) the prompt sign appears again, and you
can already run basic things like:
listMarts()

When I run sessionInfo() I get this:

R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)
i386-pc-mingw32

locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252  LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

other attached packages:
[1] biomaRt_2.2.0

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] RCurl_1.3-1 XML_2.6-0

Thanks in advance,


Juan
