Hello, I have a Win2K machine and I just downloaded and installed R 1.8.0. Then I followed the directions in http://www.bioconductor.org/faq.html under the heading of "Installing Bioconductor packages using the installation script getBioC.R". The installation seemed to go well but when I tried loading a library like AnnBuilder (or any other Bioconductor package), I got this error: > library(AnnBuilder) Error in bindingIsLocked(m2, where) : not an environment Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Package Biobase unavailable! Error in library(AnnBuilder) : .First.lib failed Can somebody please help me? I am not sure where to turn to next. Thank you, Paul Cantalupo

Hi, If you are using R 1.8, you need to use the development version of Bioconductor. Version 1.2 only works with R 1.7.1.
