Dear all, I had been trying to install the siggene package, but was unable to do so. I tried loading the multtest package and was successful in doing so. Before installing the same, I had already loaded the package Biobase. Everytime I try installing the siggene package, the following error is encountered: Error: package 'multtest' does not have a name space Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'siggenes Can anyone help me out with the problem..?? Is there any different installation command for bioconductor packages, other than RCMD INSTALL ()...?? Looking forward for a quick reply. Thanks in advance, Ruma.

Please read about how to install Bioconductor packages and how to post questions to the mailing list: http://www.bioconductor.org/download http://www.bioconductor.org/docs/postingGuide.html It is difficult to provide more detailed help because you haven't told us much. As a start, I would: 1. Make sure you are using the latest R release 2.5.0 2. Follow the instructions to install siggenes using biocLite 3. If you have problems, read over the posting guide and tell us about them making sure to provide plenty of details so we can better help. + seth -- Seth Falcon | Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center http://bioconductor.org
