Hi Dan

I just tried to install packages using "biocLite" for my Mac computer. When
I ran biocLite(), it returns the following error:

'BiocInstaller' package not in repository
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc, using '
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc'
Error: 'BiocInstaller' package not in repository
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc

After I traced the error, I found it is because "contrib.url" function
returns a non-existing web link:

contrib.url("http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc")
"http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/3.0"


Here is my sessionInfo():
