Hi Matthias,

Just an additional comment to Marc's answer: you must use R-2.6.0 (just
released yesterday) if you want to be able to install and use org.Hs.eg.db
(and this is currently true for any other .db package). Also, as with any
Bioconductor package, the recommended way to install a package is to use
biocLite (from R-2.6.0 ):

  > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
  > biocLite("org.Hs.eg.db")

Those org.*.*.db packages are new in Bioconductor 2.1 (BioC 2.1 will be
released tomorrow but you can start using it right now). Please let us
now if you find any problem or need help with this package. Thanks!

H.
