The problem was that I was using the unzipped distributed package, rather
than the source. Once I got the source I was fine.
See http://bioconductor.org/packages/1.8/bioc/html/LMGene.html for links to
source and package. Installing from source works differently from installing
from a package, and it was messing me up.

Thanks
John
