[BioC] arrayQualityMetrics

Dear Guillaume

you're right, the Cairo package is the hard part, SVGAnnotation should 
install without further ado once you have Cairo. The error message that 
you have got is pretty explicit.

There are two ways to install R packages: from source, or precompiled 
binary versions.

1.) If you go the 'from source' route (which I personally prefer), then 
you will need to learn how to install system libraries and tools (e.g. 
compilers, make) on your computer; in this case, you will need to 
(properly) install the 'cairo' system library (not to be confused with 
the R package 'Cairo'). On Mac OS X, I and others have had good success 
using 'mac ports' (www.macports.org) for that.

2.) For Windows and Mac OS X users, Simon Urbanek also offers binary 
versions: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Cairo/index.html .
As far as I understand (I have only tried on Windows, so please correct 
me if I am wrong for OS X) those already contain their own copy of the 
'cairo' systems library, so they can just be installed from the R Gui 
and need no separate system level installation.

Hope this helps
  	Wolfgang
