[BioC] The package gcrma downloaded from Bioconductor cannot run in my linux machine

[Qian Li]

Hi, dear sir/madam in bioconductor:

I initially downloaded and installed Bioconductor 1.6 into our linux 
machine for the purpose of affymetrix array analysis. I used the script 
provided on the web
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

to finish download and installation in R session. Then I loaded packages 
"affy" and "gcrma" to start my data processing work. Everything looked fine 
until I tried to run function "gcrma" with my real data. The system gave me 
an error message said: no slot of name "Imports" for this object of class 
"localPkg". I tried many methods to figure out the problem, including all 
the tips and clues provided by bioconductor. Unfortunately, I didn't find 
the answer for my problem. So I decide to seek help from you. My co-worker 
ran the same data set in his PC with Bioconductor 1.6, it worked very well. 
I am not sure what caused the error, could you help me to find the best 
solution for the problem? I pasted all the information in R session under 
my linux system as following.  The linux system we are using now is Red Hat 
8.0,  R version is 2.1.1.  Bioconductor 1.6 was installed into my user 
directory rather than the system directory automatically by script. No any 
system upgrading  during the installation process.

Many thanks in advance!

Qian
