[BioC] Problems installing AnnotationDbi on RHEL4 using biocLite

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Michael,

I don't know what is causing your system to output that symbol, but you 
have to get the case correct in order to install the package.  So to get 
this installed you have to (at a minimum) type:
 
biocLite("AnnotationDbi")

instead of

biocLite("annotationDbi"). 

The normal error message should have said "annotationDbi is not 
available" and then "perhaps you meant AnnotationDbi?".  I don't  have 
enough information from this post to really diagnose why this not 
working right for you.

Hope this helps,


  Marc
