Dear all, I am trying to install the mgu74av2 mgu74av2cdf mgu74av2probe packages in the "library" directory of R. Here is what I did and what I obtained: ------------------------------ > install.packages2("mgu74av2", develOK=TRUE) Note: You did not specify a download type. Using a default value of: Win32 This will be fine for almost all users [1] "Attempting to download mgu74av2 from http://www.bioconductor.org/data/metaData-devel/" [1] "Download complete." [1] "Installing mgu74av2" Note: Running R version 2.0.0 and package mgu74av2 was built for R version 1.9.0 , installing anyway. [1] "Installation complete" From URL: http://www.bioconductor.org/data/metaData-devel/ mgu74av2 version 1.6.2 ------------------------------ I can't understand why R does not download the version 2.0.0 of the package instead of the 1.9.0 one ? Maybe the version 2.0.0 of the package has not been uploaded on the website yet ? Thank you very much. Florence.

OK I was probably not very clear; in fact I meant that the 2.0.0 version of R didn't work with the mvu74av2 mvu74av2cdf mvu74av2probe packages which are on the website. We just did some tests on our machines (Windows as OS), and it strongly seems that the latest version of R (2.0.0, 23.5 Mo, for Windows) does not work. For information, the previous version 2.0.0 (released about one month ago, 21.2 Mo) of R runs without problems. Thanks, Florence. >>I can't understand why R does not download the version 2.0.0 of the >>package instead of the 1.9.0 one ? >>Maybe the version 2.0.0 of the package has not been uploaded on the >>website yet ? > >You are confusing BioC package version and R version.

In a first step, we did not know where is the problem: at the package level or at the version of R level ? We did some tests to check between these two solutions and it seems to us that the packages are ok, and that it is the latest version of R that does actually not work. florence.
