Hi Patrick, Greetings from !(sunny) Pittsburgh. What's the scoop on RCurl on windows (XP)? I've tried to install RCurl_0.92-0.zip and RCurl_0.9-3.zip, with both R 2.7.2 and R 2.8.0 from the RGUI (utils:::menuInstallLocal), and get the error "Windows binary packages in zipfiles are not supported". which (according to google's one and only hit) comes from a perl script. Your suggestion (below) to use biocLite hangs the R session, at this point: Running biocinstall version 2.3.9 with R version 2.8.0 Your version of R requires version 2.3 of Bioconductor. trying URL 'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.3/extra/src/contrib/RCurl_0.92-0.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 239873 bytes (234 Kb) opened URL downloaded 234 Kb (In this case, R 2.7.2.) We also tried to build RCurl from the tarballs, in DOS window and in Cygwin window, with a variety of problems. Is there a current solution to installing RCurl on windows? (I'm moving this topic to r-help from bioconductor on suggestions seen on that list.)

[R] Installation of RCurl Windows binary package from BioC extra repos (was Re: [BioC] Rcurl 0.8-1 update for bioconductor 2.7)
Hi Roger, Good to hear from you again. Given that RCurl is hosted in both the CRAN mirrors and in the Bioconductor extra repository, it can be a little confusing how to install it on your system. The recommended path is to follow the steps on the Bioconductor extra home page for RCurl http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/extra/html/RCurl.html To install this package, start R and enter: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("RCurl") Patrick Day, Roger S wrote:> Hi Patrick, > > Greetings from !(sunny) Pittsburgh. > > What's the scoop on RCurl on windows (XP)? > I've tried to install RCurl_0.92-0.zip and RCurl_0.9-3.zip, > with both R 2.7.2 and R 2.8.0 from the RGUI (utils:::menuInstallLocal), > and get the error > "Windows binary packages in zipfiles are not supported". > which (according to google's one and only hit) comes from a perl script. > Your suggestion (below) to use biocLite hangs the R session, at this point: > Running biocinstall version 2.3.9 with R version 2.8.0 > Your version of R requires version 2.3 of Bioconductor. > trying URL 'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.3/extra/src/contrib/RCurl_0.92-0.tar.gz' > Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 239873 bytes (234 Kb) > opened URL > downloaded 234 Kb > (In this case, R 2.7.2.) > We also tried to build RCurl from the tarballs, > in DOS window and in Cygwin window, > with a variety of problems. > > Is there a current solution to installing RCurl on windows? > > (I'm moving this topic to r-help from bioconductor > on suggestions seen on that list.) > > Thanks for your help. > -Roger > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: bioconductor-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch >> [mailto:bioconductor-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of >> Patrick Aboyoun >> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 8:49 PM >> To: Steve Lianoglou >> Cc: Yan Zhou; bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch >> Subject: Re: [BioC] Rcurl 0.8-1 update for bioconductor 2.7 >> >> Steve and Yan, >> We just uploaded source, Windows binary, and MacOS X Tiger >> binary packages for RCurl 0.9-3 to the Bioconductor CRAN-like >> repository http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/extra.
