[BioC] errors in using edgeR

[Gordon K Smyth]

Dear Li,

Please follow the posting guide:

http://www.bioconductor.org/help/mailing-list/posting-guide/

and provide output from sessionInfo().  My guess is that you are reading 
the User's Guide for edgeR that is part of Bioconductor 2.10 released a 
few weeks ago, but actually using a much older version of R and edgeR.

The function cpm() for example was introduced with Bioconductor Release 
2.9 more than six months ago:

   http://www.bioconductor.org/news/bioc_2_9_release/

so the Bioconductor software you are using must be Release 2.8 or earlier.

Best wishes
Gordon
