[BioC] Bioconductor installation problem: unable to access repository

[Shinichiro Wachi]

I am installing Bioconductor on a new machine (Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.5), R
version is 2.8.0.

sudo R is used for this session.

These are the error messages I get:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocinstall()

Running biocinstall version 2.3.8 with R version 2.8.0 (under development)
Your version of R requires version 2.3 of Bioconductor.

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.3/bioc/src/contrib/PACKAGES
will produce a web page displaying packages. (I read a post that asked for this.
I am assuming this was a quick server diagnostics).

Is there a problem with the server, or is this a temporary glitch in the
installer?  Is there a workaround?

Much thanks.
