Yes, this was exactly the problem: I was using the unzipped package, not the source. Now it works!

I'm guessing that the "source" you are working on has been obtained by unzipping the windows binary zip file. Despite appearances, that is not the source code. For the proper source code, download the file that's marked as source. In this case, http://bioconductor.org/packages/1.8/bioc/html/LMGene.html clearly labels the following as "Source" (and the corresponding zip file as "Windows Binary") http://bioconductor.org/packages/1.8/bioc/src/contrib/LMGene_1.0.0.tar.gz This likely answers your other question as well. -Deepayan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
