Hi, 

I was trying to install GEOquery_1.7.2.tar.gz into my R (version 2.8.1 ). Because I am not root, so I did the following

> install.packages("~/download/GEOquery_1.7.2.tar.gz", dependencies = TRUE, repos = NULL)

This is what I got:

Warning in install.packages("~/download/GEOquery_1.7.2.tar.gz", dependencies = TRUE,  :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using '/home/izg/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.8'
* Installing *source* package 'GEOquery' ...

** preparing package for lazy loading
Error in makeClassRepresentation(Class, properties, superClasses, prototype,  : 
  element 2 is empty;
   the part of the args list of 'list' being evaluated was:
   (header = list(), )
Error: unable to load R code in package 'GEOquery'
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'GEOquery'
** Removing '/home/izg/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.8/GEOquery'
Warning message:
In install.packages("~/download/GEOquery_1.7.2.tar.gz", dependencies = TRUE,  :
  installation of package '/home/izg/download/GEOquery_1.7.2.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status

I searched in this mailist and found no answer, neither dose in google,
What am I gonna do then?

Thanks

Zhihua.
