 Are you able to open any of the vignettes? And, do you in fact have a pdf
 for this vignette?  You can tell by looking in the directory that the
 R library is installed in 
  .libPaths()
 will tell you the root, then from there look in matchprobes/doc

 and you should see matchprobes.pdf

you may not have your pdf viewer properly set, 

  options("pdfviewer")

 should be checked
