Hallo, I just tried to install the Bioconstructor Package as described on the homepage for Windows. I did the following commands in my R-Gui: > source("Z:\\Software\\R-2.4.1\\getBioC.R") > getBioC(libName = "all") But I get the following error: Running getBioC version 1.2.2 .... Please direct any concerns or questions to bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch. [1] "Getting/installing packages reposTools and Biobase" Fehler: 'package.description' ist au?er Funktion. Benutzen Sie stattdessen 'packageDescription' Siehe help("Defunct") Can anyone help me? Thanks, Corinna

Can you please try: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite() -- Seth Falcon | Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center http://bioconductor.org

I did the following commands in my R-Gui: > > >>source("Z:\\Software\\R-2.4.1\\getBioC.R") That's not the right thing to be sourcing these days. source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite(groupName="all") Will do what you want. However, do you _really_ want all the packages? That is a whole lotta stuff to be downloading if you aren't going to be using it. Starting with the default and installing specific packages that you know you will be using is probably a more pragmatic way to proceed.

You will probably want to follow the instructions on the bioconductor website here: http://bioconductor.org/docs/install-howto.html Sean
