Dear Li,
The error you get indicates that you have installed the wrong version of
root. For Windows it is important to install the same version which is
installed on the BioC servers to create the xps binary. Thus you need to
install the following root version:
ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.24.00.win32.vc90.msi
To help people find the correct root version I have added the version
number to:
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/xps.html
where you can find it under "System Requirements".
However, please note that currently xps works only on Windows XP but not
on Vista or Windows 7. The reason for this is that R is compiled with
MinGW while root is compiled with VC++. I am trying since some time to
solve this problem and have asked at the R-devel mailing list for help, see:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-September/054843.html
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-October/055200.html
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-March/052830.html
Sadly, until now I did not receive any answer which could help me to
solve this problem.
Best regards
Christian
