[BioC] poplarcdf uninstallable

[Levi Waldron]

I am trying to install the poplarcdf environment from the source
(.tar.gz) package at

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/annotation/html/poplarcdf.html

to use bioconductor to analyse a number of poplar .CEL files.

The package seems to be uninstallable (see the output below).  Is
there a problem with this package?  If the package is non-functional,
is there another way to use bioconductor to analyze data from poplar
chips?
