Not familiar with bioconductor, but R is not strong in interface with other

Yes, the bioconductor package relies on R being installed on the machine (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-R-be- obtained_003f). I have installed it on XP and I think it is in Fink for OS X. There was an installer for XP and there may be one also for OS X.
Thanks, Phil and Rex. I'm exploring Bioconductor using Knoppix and a persistent home folder, with the intention of having a portable Bioconductor: insert CD, insert USB stick, boot machine. So far, R seems to be working well. But Bioconductor is being a bit of a pain. For my notes:

Two problems so far:
- error about not finding xml2-config - R seg faults and ends
Any thoughts what's happening?
