[BioC] problem installing Bioconductor

[Robert Gentleman]

It looks like you might have defined your own function get (or someone 
else did).  You could find out using something like find:
eg
 > find("get")
[1] "package:base"
 > get = function(x) x
 > find("get")
[1] ".GlobalEnv"   "package:base"
 >

Notice I defined one - and now I get:
 > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Error in get(objname, inherits = FALSE) :
   unused argument(s) (inherits = FALSE)

removing my version of get makes this work again.


So perhaps you are restoring a saved R session when you start, or 
something like that. Anyway, please read the posting guide and try to 
follow the directions there, which ask for more details than you have 
provided - then the rest of us have to guess less.

thanks
