Hi, Yes, I believe you need to update your R. But since you did not follow the advice on the posting guide, I cannot be sure. The addition of the numeric_version class was pretty recent (about one week ago), so you need to update. During the lead up to the release you can expect that changes to R will necessitate updating more often. The other choice is to work off of the release branches of both R and Bioconductor. best wishes Robert Tena Sakai wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > I am having a problem with loading Biobase package.
