[BioC] error in getBioC("exprs")

[Robert Baertsch]

While you are at it, can you please allow people to install R without 
being root?  Our sysadmin will install only RPMs and since bioconductor 
has no RPMS, all of the R users need  to compile the source for R.

It is a real pain and many long time R users are frustrated by it.  What 
do you guys have to do something special? Every other unix app in the 
world has an RPM.

RPM good.
installation scripts bad.

Get the picture.
