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 opened URL .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .... downloaded 124Kb
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
