[BioC] error in installing Bioconductor development packages

[Robert Gentleman]

What version of R are you running? It needs to be R 2.1.0 (release  
candidate) for this to work.
If it is not, then your first stop is to get a copy and use it. And  
please always report OS and version of R, it's kind of hard for us to  
guess these things

well you seem to have snipped the actual error message, and what you  
have shown us certainly doesn't help.

  And in this case, why not try and do just what it says? Either detach  
reposTools or quit and restart R.
