As the posting guide strongly suggests, I think the first step is to update to R 2.14: there have been changes in package design and I'm not sure back-compatibility will run that far. Doing so should let you download fresh binaries straight from BioC.
I'm not sure why you would get compilation errors if you are just installing a binary -- are you sure you're doing it right? What are your commands? I think follow-up should be directed to the dedicated BioConductor list, but I assume they will tell you the same thing: 1) Update R and try to install prepackaged libraries; 2) install local copies of the binaries; 3) only compile from source if needed (you probably don't have a fortran compiler which seems to be part of the problem) Michael On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 12:57 PM, UyenThao Nguyen <ungu...@tethysbio.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I've tried to install these "multtest" and "preprocessCore" packages in Mac, > but kept getting error messages.
