[BioC] installing affy

[Enrico Carlon]

Hello,

I am having troubles installing the package "affy".
I first start 'R' and from there I type in the commands source()
and getBioC() with the appropriate arguments as shown below.
I got the following output:
% 
% R : Copyright 2003, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
% Version 1.8.1  (2003-11-21), ISBN 3-900051-00-3

% Type 'q()' to quit R.
% 
% > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R")
% > getBioC("affy")
% Running getBioC version 1.2.52....
% If you encounter problems, first make sure that

% Please direct any concerns or questions to bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch.

% Warning message:

% Error in getReposTools(relLevel, PLATFORM, destdir, method = method, bioCoption = bioCoption) :
%         Could not get the required package reposTools
% 

What is going wrong?
Thanks for the help, with best regards,
