[BioC] Building BioC 2.2 with R 2.7.0

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

The first thing to understand is that in some case R CMD INSTALL can  
seem sucessful, but when you to to do the librray command from within  
R it fails, ie.

R> library(SOMEPACKAGE)

This typically happens when a package is dynamically linked to  
something that R cannot find when it tries to load the package. Now,  
the slightly confusing issue that may happen is that when package XX  
depends on package YY, R will try to load the YY package when it tries  
to install XX. So if YY has the problem I just mention you will not  
discover it when you install YY but rather when you install something  
that depends on YY.

See below for rest of comments

Here it seems like you GO.db installation is wrong. This is not a  
dynamically linked issue, but something else. My guess is that you  
have some version mismatch.

Looking at the error, it happens when you try to load genefilter. I  
will bet that if you open up R and do
R> library(genefilter)
you will get the same error.

Now, why genefilter does not install properly, I have no idea about.
