[BioC] Problem with MAS5 calls on MoEx array

[cstrato]

Dear Peter,

Some time ago another Debian/Ubuntu user had the identical problem, 
which he solved as follows:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2009-August/029192.html

However, this should not be the solution to the problem. I am testing 
xps on Mac, WinXP and OpenSUSE11.1, where compilation works w/o problem.

When googling the error message I found the following site:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=165902
Thus, I assume that maybe your Ubuntu installation misses some 
development files, maybe the "glibc-headers" and "glibc-kernheaders", as 
mentioned in the link. However, please note that I am not an 
Ubuntu/Debian expert, thus maybe someone else could give you a better 
advice.

BTW, which version of ROOT are you using? Did you compile it? Did you 
compile R?

Best regards
Christian
