Hi,

I cannot load or update the package GO.db & can't quite figure a way out of it. I've tried as superuser & a regular user & the installation fails on both attempts.

Below is the output after running "R --vanilla" as superuser

Thanks,

Steve

After a bit of playing around it's now installed & loading. Running biocValid(fix=TRUE) sorted it out.
