[BioC] Error in loading package preprocessCore

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

You need to install gfortran. When you install R from the CRAN binary  
there is a button marked "customize". You will need to click that and  
choose gfortran.

If you are running Leopard (which you might be, given that it is a  
new machine), there might be other issues, see r-sig-mac.
