Hi, I have problem with the installation of R under Linux /debian. I have already installed the program R but I am not able to install the packages with the command getBioC(..). The program tell me that version 1.8 is required and I have only 1.5.1 version. There is a command for installing packages with the version 1.5.1? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You need to update your R installation. > There is a command for installing packages with the version 1.5.1? Not really. The 1.0 release of Bioconductor worked against 1.5.X, but again, that was 2 years ago. -J

1) New Bioconductor packages work only on R 1.8.1, then you have to install this version from some CRAN 2) GetBioC() is not an R command but a script, you should download them from a Bioconductor mirror site, all instruction on www.bioconductor.org A.S. ---------------------------- Alessandro Semeria Models and Simulations Laboratory Montecatini Environmental Research Center (Edison Group), Via Ciro Menotti 48, 48023 Marina di Ravenna (RA), Italy Tel. +39 544 536811 Fax. +39 544 538663 E-mail: alessandro.semeria@cramont.it
