This isn't enough.  writeChrLengths is, according to its man page,
computing the chromosome lenths based on some source data and writing
an rda file to disk.  You would then need to rebuild the zebrafish
package so that this file becomes part of it.

But I wasn't actually suggesting that you take this route, at least
not initially.

I would try simply loading the zebrafishCHRLENGTHS.rda file in your
session and see if that allows buildChromLocation to work -- this is
obviously a temp fix, but an easier first step.
