Hello!
There seems to be a bug in the latest release of the package Biobase
(1.3.22). The code uses a function "note", which used to be defined
within
previous releases of the package, but which is obviously missing in
the
latest release. This causes an error and loading of the package fails
if
there is no valid pdf-viewer installed (Unix command line...), as
"note" is
used to display messages if e.g. a pdf-viewer couldn't be loaded.
Replacing
"note" with "warning" helps for the moment.

note() was moved to reposTools for a variety of reasons, none of them
being that it deals with repositories :)
However, Biobase loads reposTools in .First.lib(), so note() should
always
be available within Biobase. If this is not the case for you, let me
know
- it certainly is for me:
