[BioC] Problem with metadata

[Ting-Yuan Liu]

Hi Claudia,

Here are my suggestions for you:

(1) upgrate your R to 2.2.1.  You may also want to upgrate it to 
2.3.0 again after it releases.  R 2.1.1 is a very old version.  
(2) If you are using R 2.2.1, you could use

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("hgu95a")

in R to install the correct version of hgu95a.  I believe you 
downloaded the hgu95a zip file from the developmental repository, but we 
don't suggest to use developmental meta data packages with stable R.  If 
you want to try the developmental meta data packages, you should install 
the developmental verison R (2.3).  

HTH,
Ting-Yuan
