Hello all, I am trying to load BioConductor on a Solaris 8 machine with the latest version of R 2.1.0 and I was halfway done with the install when I came up with this error: Loading required package: reposTools Loading required package: tools Error in load(libFile, envir = parent.frame()) : error reading from connection Error in getBioC() : Needs reposTools to continue > Now every time I try to start it I get the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thank you for your time!! Trent [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Trent, The subject of your email message is a bit confusing as it seems you are asking about Bioconductor installation in general and not anything limma specific.

So if you are using getBioC, you need to be sure to use develOK=TRUE. + seth
