You want to follow the instructions for updating packages, not
installing a particular one; likely you have a Frankenstein system at
the moment. In a new R

source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')
update.packages(repos=biocinstallRepos(), ask=FALSE)

or a recently learned (for me) and probably better approach

options(repos=c(CRAN="http://cran.fhrcr.org"))
setRepositories()  ## select CRAN and all BioC
old.packages()  ## to see what you are saving yourself from...
update.packages(ask=FALSE)

In terms of books from a developer perspective (rather than 'using R' or
'bioinformatic analysis') I'm partial to Chambers' Software for Data
Analysis and Gentleman's R Programming for Bioinformatics.
