Hi Bioconductor forum,

I get a strange error message when working with the Bioconductor Gene Ontology-packages.
I have done the following:
➢ source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
➢ biocLite("GO.db")

The problem is that GO.db is dependant on AnnotationDbi in a later version than 1.23.23, and when I load GO.db using
> biocLite("GO.db")
(...)
“Warning: dependency ‘AnnotationDbi (>= 1.23.24)’ is not available”
(...)

but when I load AnnotationDbi it says:
> biocLite("AnnotationDbi")
" There is a binary version available (and will be installed) but the
  source version is later:
                        binary          source
AnnotationDbi   1.23.23         1.23.25”

Can I suppress the installation of the binary version such that I get an appropriate version of AnnotationDbi? Or do you have any other suggestions? (Except changing to Linux :-))
I have tried with several versions of R and I use Windows XP as platform. R version 2.15 works ok, but using that, I have problems with getting the newer packages to work.
My colleague, who uses Linux and R 3.0.1, has no problems with GO.db or any of the other packages using AnnotationDbi  – and he also "only" has AnnotationDbi 1.23.23.

Best wishes,

Sine Zambach
