Hi all,

I am having some problems with the released version of R. I will admit that
I am trying to install Bioconductor packages, but I think that the problem
should be addressed here (I have also grab the source files for R 2.8 from
SVN and built it from source and everything there works fine). I am also
trying to install all the packages that I download from Bioconductor as
source packages. Here is the error from one of the packages that I tried to
install:

The error is cryptic. If 10.4 is an invalid option, why does it work for R
devel? Anyhow, any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
