[BioC] affy won't load

[jason smith]

Thanks Steve,

I checked, and the files (affy and related) are installed on my computer, however when I attempt to load them into R I get the error mentioned previously (reminder below):

I'm not sure what is happening - all of the files are in the correct folders on my hard drive, but for some reason library(affy) fails. Will installing/enabling gettext address this?

Best
