By the looks of your sessionInfo, it seems you need to get yourself a new version of R to accompany your new PC ;-) You are running R-2.10.x and we're up to R-2.14.1 ... I'm pretty sure Rsamtools wasn't released for R-2.10, which explains why it's not available to you via biocLite. You can install the latest R for ubuntu pretty easily (assuming you have admin/root access) by following the instructions here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ HTH, -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology ?| Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center ?| Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact
