Thanks for pointing this out.  The warning message indicates that we
need to update a part of the installation scripts, but it should not
have an effect on behavior at this time.

Hmm, did you try simply loading one of the Bioc packages from inside
R?  For example,

   library("Biobase")

On second thought, it might be most useful to inspect the locations
where packages would most likely have been installed:

   .libPaths()

I say most likely, because if your environment had R_LIBS set, R would
have used that, but most likely, whatever .libPaths() reports will be
where packages will have been installed.
