[BioC] R installation error----please help

[hpages at fhcrc.org]

Hi Jacob,

The package you are trying to install belongs to Bioconductor 1.8
hence it's aimed to work with R-2.3 only.
I can see that you are using R-2.2.1 so only Bioconductor 1.7
packages are guaranteed to work for you.

The easiest way to install a Bioconductor package is to use the
biocLite() function:

  > source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')
  > biocLite('affyio')

  Running bioCLite version 0.1  with R version  2.2.1

  Running biocinstall version 1.1  with R version  2.2.1
  dependency '‘affyio’' is not available

which means that there is no affyio package for your version of R
(affyio is new in Bioconductor 1.8).


But with R-2.3:

  > biocLite('affyio')

  Running bioCLite version 0.1  with R version  2.3.0

  Running biocinstall version 1.3  with R version  2.3.0
  trying URL
