Hi everyone, I am trying to install the edgeR package on Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit.
I have installed R the normal way via sudo apt-get install r-base $ R --version R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) -- "Frisbee Sailing" So then I proceed according to the instructions at http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/edgeR.html and type: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("edgeR") But then I get: > biocLite("edgeR") BioC_mirror: http://bioconductor.org Using Bioconductor version 2.13 (BiocInstaller 1.12.1), R version 3.0.2.

Also: Why do they not write anything on the bioconductor homepage about this issue? It only states "Depends: R (>= 2.15.0), limma" ... ? _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
