Hi I'm on R 2.7.1 and RHEL4: > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocLite("annotationDbi") Running biocinstall version 2.2.10 with R version 2.7.1 Your version of R requires version 2.2 of BioConductor. Warning messages: 1: In install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, repos = repos, dependencies = dependencies, : package ?? is not available 2: Perhaps you meant ?? ? Quite a nice little error message there :) Any ideas?

Hi Michael, I don't know what is causing your system to output that symbol, but you have to get the case correct in order to install the package. So to get this installed you have to (at a minimum) type: biocLite("AnnotationDbi") instead of biocLite("annotationDbi"). The normal error message should have said "annotationDbi is not available" and then "perhaps you meant AnnotationDbi?". I don't have enough information from this post to really diagnose why this not working right for you.
