Hi, I've download the chipseq package by the following command in my terminal. "svn co https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/chipseq " And I got a chipseq folder (rather than a .tar.gz file) under my home directory. I try to install it by: install.package("./chipseq", repos=NULL), but got error message: -------------------------------------------------------------- tar (child): chipseq: Cannot read: Is a directory tar (child): At beginning of tape, quitting now tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) : argument is missing, with no default ------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that the package should be in a compressed format. I don't know how to deal with this. And I can't find the relevant information from searching the archives. Would someone help to give a hint on this? Thank you very much in advance!

Yuan, If you want to create the source tarball, you can use the typical R CMD build operation from the OS shell: /R CMD build chipseq This will create the .tar.gz R source package that you can then install using the install.package routine from within R that you mentioned.
