[BioC] Out of date source code?

[Wolfgang Huber]

Hi Johnny

Have you tried to make sure that when you are typing "R.version" you are 
running the same instance of R as the one you have just compiled. It 
could be the case that an older version of R is still in your $PATH and 
is picked up by your operating system.

There are many good tutorials on using Linux. Here's an explanation of 
PATH: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix8.html

Best wishes
      Wolfgang
