[BioC] error in loading affy (R 2.0)

[James MacDonald]

You would be better off using reposTools functions rather than R-base
functions for getting and installing packages. Here you are installing
the release version of affy on R-2.0.0, which is an incompatible
combination. Try

library(reposTools)
install.packages2("affy", develOK=TRUE)

HTH,

Jim

Hi everyone,

I am working on R 2.0 installed in Windows 2000.
I tried to download 'affy' package. No apparent error message appears,
although there is a message that says 
  'dependencies NA are not available'.
When I try to load the package it complains (please see below).
What is going on?

Any idea is appreciated. Could you please include my own e-mail address
(not
just the Bioconductor's) in the reply. 
Thank you.

Melania
