Hi Naveed,
I was aware of this installation problem of XML package with outdated R/Biocondutor. Please always try to upgrade to the latest verison of R (3.0)/Bioconductor (2.12) for simpler installation and better use of Pathview.
If you have to stick to your old version of R/Bioconductor. You may install XML package manually. You may download it from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/XML/index.html) and then do something like:
install.packages("/your/local/directory/XML_3.95-0.2.zip", repos = NULL)
For more problems check with the Installation section of pathview vignette or webpage at http://pathview.r-forge.r-project.org/. HTH.

Hello
Weijun,
I came across your bioconductor
package ‘pathview’
and wanted to take it for a run but realized that one of the
packages down the
dependency chain (XML package) is broken. This is apparently
due to corrupt archiving.
http://cran.fhcrc.org/web/packages/XML/index.html
I noticed the same for the older
archives
of XML package. I am wondering if you encountered similar
issue and if so, how
did you go about resolving it? If it is of any help, I have
attached the log
file from R when I installed pathview.
Let me know if you are
aware of this issue and if there is a fix for it.Thanks.Regards,Naveed
