I could have sworn that I've seen this before, but my google-fu is failing me at the moment. How can I suppress the "Welcome to Bioconductor" message when BioC loads? I'm trying to develop a module for GenePattern which uses (indirectly) Biobase - but GP spits out a stderr.txt file which really seems to be both stderr & stdout ... it's confusing to folks who don't understand that it's not actually an error. Thanks -J

Surround the offending library() call with suppressMessages(): suppressMessages(library(Biobase)) Does that do it? Sean [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
