I am working to install and use AnnBuilder (as part of bioconductor) on MacOS 10. I can successfully install it (exit status zero, etc.). However, I notice a line while installing that says: missing text for \item in \describe Then, when I try to load the library, I get: > library(AnnBuilder) Error in library(package, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts, : This is not a valid package -- no DESCRIPTION exists Error in library(AnnBuilder) : .First.lib failed Any ideas? Thanks!

Could you tell us: 1. what version of AnnBuilder you installed (devel, release, version #)? 2. what version of R you have on your machine? 3. how you installed AnnBuilder?
