Hello, Svetlana.  Thanks for the interest in GEOquery.  The output
above looks OK--I do not see any errors....

However, the better way to install bioconductor packages (and, indeed,
R packages in general) is to use the biocLite() script:

source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')
biocLite('GEOquery')

Doing so ensures that the package versions match each other and the
appropriate version of R.  You can refer to the bioconductor website
for more information about installation of bioconductor packages.  If
you have further problems, could you include the output of
sessionInfo() in the email?
