[BioC] trouble extracting R code from vignette using example from www.bioconductor.org

[Mark W Kimpel]

Not sure if this is an R or BioC question so will cross-post. I cannot 
extract R code from vignettes because system.file("doc", 
"my.bioc.package") returns "". I got this code directly off of 
http://www.bioconductor.org/docs/vignettes.html. A specific example 
using siggenes follows but I have tested this using multiple packages, 
including those for which I can clearly see the vignette *.Rnw in the 
doc directory.

One thing in my setup that I have customized, and which I wonder if is 
causing this problem, is that I am using a site-library as directed in 
the R install manual. I have this in my .Rprofile
.libPaths(new= "~/R_HOME/site-library") #tell R where site-library is

In all other respects, however, my packages are working correctly.

Example and sessionInfo() follows.

thanks, Mark
