biocLite installs in the R library directory on the server.  And I don't 
have directory permission to install anything on the server.  The system 
admins told me that if I want any R libraries installed, I had to 
install them myself in my home directory.  Hence, my question.  I agree 
that it would be easier with biocLite().

Any ideas what repository to use to get the annotation files?
