[BioC] Installing beadarray

[Krys Kelly]

Dear Joern, Sean

I did 

> biocLite("beadarray", dependencies=TRUE)

As suggested by Joern, and lots of things got installed.

But then I got:

> library(beadarray)
Loading required package: geneplotter
Loading required package: annotate
Loading required package: AnnotationDbi
Error: package 'RSQLite' required by 'AnnotationDbi' could not be found

So I did:
> biocLite("RSQLite")

and it all seems to be OK now.  

I guess I liked installing packages and their dependencies myself and never
had a problem before, but I'll do as you suggest from now on to save the
headaches.

Thanks

Krys

Hi, Krys.

You'll ALWAYS want to use biocLite.  It saves quite a few headaches, in
the end.  In addition to what you have done so far, you will need to do:

biocLite('beadarray')

That should then install beadarray and the necessary accessory packages,
including DBI.  If that doesn't do it for you, let us know.
