[BioC] newbie problems with AnnBuilder

Interesting, it works from a command line outside of R, but when I had
tried R> system('R CMD INSTALL ragene10stv1.db') I received an error
message. I have used this approach successfully with other packages to
avoid leaving R and starting a shell, but with this package I get:
'* Installing to library '/home/mkimpel/R_HOME/site-library-2.8.0'
ERROR: no packages specified'

Well, thanks, it now is installed. Any comment on why my system()
approach might not have worked?
