[BioC] error in getBioC("exprs")

[Ben Bolstad]

You can download pre-compiled .rpm for R from CRAN eg.

http://www.cran.mirrors.pair.com/bin/linux/

You should also note that not everybody in the world uses an RPM based
Linux distribution. 

As for installing BioC as a non root user. Try setting the R_LIBS
environment variable  eg for bash

export R_LIBS=/home/myaccount/MyRpacks

thanks,

Ben
