[BioC] A question about GWASTools package

[Stephanie M. Gogarten]

Dear Hugo,

This is a problem with installing the dependency "ncdf."  The 
installation info on CRAN might help you:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ncdf/INSTALL

If that doesn't work, try the ncdf author, whose contact info is on this 
page:
http://cirrus.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncdf/

Please copy the Bioconductor mailing list (bioconductor at r-project.org) 
with any follow-up questions.

I also recommend that you upgrade to the latest release of R (2.15) 
before installing, as the version of GWASTools you get when using 
biocLite() on older R versions is out of date.
