[BioC] Installing genefilter

[Monnie McGee]

Dear Bioc help,

I would like to use the package genefilter  in order to do some 
nonspecific filtering of a microarray expression set (eset).  When I 
typed "library(genefilter)" into R, I received the following error 
message:

Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) :
         shared library 'genefilter' not found
In addition: Warning message:
Package  'genefilter' contains no R code in: loadNamespace(package, 
c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc))
Error in library(genefilter) : package/namespace load failed for 
'genefilter'

I thought that genefilter should have been downloaded by default when I 
downloaded bioconductor with "getBioC()".  But, I tried to download it 
using "install.packages2".  Here's what I did:

if (interactive()){
z <- repositories
install.packages2("genefilter",repEntry=
z)}

I then received the message:

Warning message:
cannot open: HTTP status was `404 Not Found'
Note: http://www.bioconductor.org/CRANrepository does not seem to have 
a valid repository, skipping
Warning message:
Failed to read replisting at http://www.bioconductor.org/CRANrepository 
in: getReplisting(repURL, repFile, method = method)

But, a few seconds later, the list of repositories appeared.  When it 
did, I typed 1 for "Release 1.5 source repository" and hit return.

Then, I received the following message:

[1] "Attempting to download genefilter from

Warning message:
Installation of package genefilter had non-zero exit status in:

The upshot of all of this is that I do not have genefilter installed on 
my machine (a powerbook G4, by the way).

I tried the exact same procedure with the package "limma" and was 
successful.  Genefilter is the only package that gives me this problem 
- and "multtest", but that is because multtest needs genefilter to run.

Please help!
Thank You,
