entrez_search #69

Closed FranzKrah closed 8 years ago

FranzKrah commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I installed rentrez under R version 3.2.2. And I have the following Error when following the example...

library("rentrez") hox_paper <- entrez_search(db="pubmed", term="10.1038/nature08789[doi]") Error in as.vector(x, "character") : cannot coerce type 'externalptr' to vector of type 'character'

Please help. All the Best, Franz

Hi @FranzKrah,

These "external pointer" errors often come up when the NCBI is down for a while. I've just checked and the example works for me now -- can you test that you still get this error.

If you do, can you paste in the output of traceback() run right after the error?

Thanks
