[BioC] trouble installing "affy" package

[Jeffrey Chang]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to install Bioconductor into a freshly compiled R 1.8.1 on 
OS X 10.3.2.  I'm sourcing the getBioC.R from 
http://www.bioconductor.org and trying to install the "release" 
version:

 > getBioC(relLevel="release")

It looks like R is getting sources from
http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/release1.3/package/Source

However, when it tries to install "affy", it complains about a missing 
"Biobase" package and the installation fails.  However, Biobase seems 
to be installed properly.  Executing at R prompt
     > library("Biobase")
seems to complete without error.

However, executing
     > library("affy")
     Error in library("affy") : There is no package called 'affy'
fails.

I have included a portion of the error messages at the bottom of this 
email.  Has anyone seen this before, or know how to fix it?

Thanks,
Jeff
