Looks like you are on Windows.
Apparently (from clicking into the R menu to install a Bioconductor 
package: "Select repository...", then "Install package(s)..." ), for 
this *Bioconductor* package, no Windows binary is available. Hence (if 
possible at all) you have to install the package from sources. You need 
the required development tools (see the Istallation and Administration 
manual) and call R CMD INSTALL from the commandline.

For questions on the availability of BioC Windows binary packages please 
contact the Bioconductor folks and use their mailing list (after looking 
for documentation why kidpack is not available for Windows, of course).
