Hello, "xtable" is not a Bioconductor package, so you can get it from your local CRAN mirror as well, try install.packages("xtable") In theory, biocLite can also be used to download CRAN packages, so I don't really know what went wrong in your case. Two suggestions: 1. please consider updating your R to the current release version 2.6.1 and Bioconductor to the current release version 2.1. When you call the "biocLite" function from within R2.6.1, it will automatically retreive BioC 2.1 package versions. 2. since you are on Linux, it may be a good idea to create a separate directory for your R add-on packages. You can set an environment variable R_LIBS which tells R where to look for packages (besides the R installation directory) and also where to install add-on packages into, for example I have the following line in my "~/.cshrc" shell setup file: setenv R_LIBS "${HOME}/rpackages" telling R that it is the directory ~/rpackages in my case. That works if you are using c-shell and derivatives. If you are using bash, there's another syntax for setting environment variables and the file is "~/.bashrc". One main advantage of setting this variable is that you won't have to reinstall add-on packages every time you update your R version.
