[Bioc-sig-seq] edgeR package: install on Linux

[Jean-Paul Bouchet]

Hello

I would like to install EdgeR on a Linux Debian system with a rather old 
version of R (2.7.1)
The preselected selection of Core Bioconductor has been installed today 
with biocLite().

I have first tried as explained at 
http://www.bioconductor.org/help/bioc-views/release/bioc/html/edgeR.html
 > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
 > biocLite("edgeR")
Running biocinstall version 2.2.11 with R version 2.7.1
Your version of R requires version 2.2 of BioConductor.
Avis dans install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, repos = repos, dependencies = 
dependencies, :
argument 'lib' is missing: using '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'
Warning message:
In install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, repos = repos, dependencies = 
dependencies, :
package ‘edgeR’ is not available

Then I have downloaded edgeR_2.0.4.tar.gz and tried to install the 
package from the archive :
install.packages(".../R/packages/edgeR_2.0.4.tar.gz", dependencies = 
TRUE, repos = NULL)
Avis dans install.packages(".../R/packages/edgeR_2.0.4.tar.gz", :

Error in .walkClassGraph(classDef, "subclasses", where) :

class "RGList"
Error: unable to load R code in package 'edgeR'

Could someone give me any advices to help me in this installation ?
Thanks in advance
