   My guess is that Kasper is pretty close, but that the real culprit is 
RSQLite. But without a complete log of what did and did not install we 
won't know.

   So, if you could, please try
  library(RSQLite)

   and

  library(GO)

  and let us know which of them fails?
  Depending on the outcome of that, you might then try to install as 
described on the download instructions - via biocLite (as you may also 
have version mismatches, which we can't know about from the output given).

   If you did not use biocLite please do, it is intended to help avoid 
just these issues.

   This looks a lot like you did not reinstall genefilter, or if you 
did, then perhaps you did not use biocLite.
   Using ldd on
R/2.7.0/lib/R/library/genefilter/libs/genefilter.so
   might reveal what library is missing - but it is typically hard to 
get this kind of failure, without doing fairly odd things, and the best 
advice is to do something like:

  biocLite("genefilter")

  and then see if it fails to install properly - report back if it 
fails, with complete details of what you typed and what you got - and we 
might be able to help.

  best wishes
