I think you have been around long enough to know that we need your 
sessionInfo(). In addition, we keep stressing the point about using 
biocLite() to get things in order to ensure that you will get the 
correct version. But you obviously downloaded this package by hand.

Are you running R-devel? If not, why are you trying to run a devel 
package on a release version of R? When I use biocLite() with R-devel, I 
see no such problem.

Best,

Jim
