[Bioc-devel] Problem installing packages using biocLite

[Joern Toedling]

Hi Jose,

perhaps you are not using the newest version of R (2.11)? biocLite only gets
the Bioconductor package versions that match the version of R that you are
calling biocLite from. So if you use an older version of R, you will only get
older versions of Bioconductor, which may not include certain packages.
This is also why we always ask for the output of sessionInfo() to be appended
to questions asked on this list, so please do so next time.

And btw, I think this was rather a question for the normal Bioc list than for
Bioc-devel.

Regards,
Joern
