[BioC] getBioC install problem in Fedora

[Robert Gentleman]

Hi,
  It looks rather like you have installed R on Fedora using an RPM and  
do not have the appropriate software tools installed to install  
packages - and hence you cannot.
If this is correct then you can either install R (and all necessary  
software - see the R FAQ for details) or hope that some kind soul will  
offer to build and supply the necessary Bioconductor RPMs.

If this is not the case, then there seems to be something broken with  
install. What happens if you try to install a package from CRAN  (not  
from Bioconductor)?
