Dear consulter,

I tried to install Bioconductor on my 32 bit debian linux and faced some
problem.
Basically I think it happened on the first installation: preprocessCore
I do have libgfortran.so.2.0.0 and 3.0.0 under /usr/lib/
following message is the error message that came out.
Please help me with it!!! Thanks a million.
