Hi there,
   I am a bioinformatician working in DFCI. I am new to R. Yesterday I installed
the R-1.7.1 to my Linux (since I am not able to find R-1.8 on the webpage). But
I have some package installation problems ...

R-1.8.0 is still in development (alpha releases available).


1. install.packages2() function isn't available. If I type at R prompt:

install.packages2("Biobase")

Error: couldn't find function "install.packages2" *****************************************************

2. If I try this:

install.packages("Biobase")

It's a Bioconductor package:


install.packages("Biobase", CRAN = getOption("BIOC"))



trying URL `http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
Content type `text/plain' length 127126 bytes

Warning message: No package "Biobase" on CRAN. in: download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd,
available = available, ****************************************************************
I did go to http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES to check the
packages available there, there are quite few ... Many packages, such as
Biobase, annotate and genefilter, are not included.


Could you please give me some clue? I do appreciate!

Sincerely,
Rong
