I am running Jan de Leeuw's compilation of R, thus: R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.1 Patched (2003-06-21) I copied the Bioconductor install script from the Bioconductor web site (http://www.bioconductor.org/reposToolsDesc.html) a few moments ago. I ran R from root and sourced the install script. Installation of repostools seems to go alright. But then I get an error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- --------------------------- > getBioC() Running getBioC version 1.2.41....
