[BioC] Error in loading bioconductor packages in Rterm and ESS+XEmacs modes

[Dr Mushtaq Ahmed]

I am using the latest Bioconductor developement version on Windows. 
The command library(affy) works fine from the R GUI. 
But I am not able to import any packages (e.g. affy) when I use the ESS+XEmacs or simply Rterm shell mode. I get the following error:
I think that it may be due to some extra work the package upload routine tries to do like adding "Vignettes" menu to the GUI and fails to do so in the Rterm mode.
What is the workaround?

Thanks in advance,
mushtaq
