[BioC] Installation Problems

[Herve Pages]

Hi Monnie,

Sorry for the late answer. 2 days ago our main server experienced a
hardware failure (this has been reported yesterday on the BioC list).
We are still in the process of recovering the data and transferring
them on a spare machine. Apparently a lot of things are still missing
(e.g. symlinks) which is the cause of your problem.

We'll do our best to get things fully restored before tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.

In trying install BioC from Cocoa R GUI, I receive the following errors.  I get the same errors when I try installing biocLite.  I also tried installation using X11, and the errors I received from that process are given at the end of this e-mail.
