[BioC] listMart error with local biomart

[Syed Haider]

Dear MLSC,

 From the path it looks you are trying to use biomaRt to communicate to 
biomart v0.8 (release candidate 6). I believe biomaRt package does not 
support the new webservice API of biomart v0.8. It should work if your 
biomart installation was v0.7.

Best,
Syed
