Well, the first trick would be to give us a bit more detail on what version of R you are using (on what operating system) and the versions of the packages involved. sessionInfo() is a convenient way to give us this info. I suspect that you have a mismatch between your version of R and the version of (some) packages. We are working hard to push out the next release of Bioconductor, version 1.6 that will be compatible with R 2.1.0 (just released). In the mean time, you will need to run R 2.0.1 with Bioc 1.5. Best, + seth

hello, thank you for the fast reply. Actually, i did have the combination required: R 2.0.1 with BioC 1.5. The 'bug' appeared exactly on the next day the R 2.1.0 had been released and after i'd installed several new R packadges on top of my R 2.0.1. Still wonder how did i manage to corrupt the installer; It should have beeng able to download the correct versions... Now i've tried 2.1.0 + BioC 1.5 and it seems to work.
