The binary was built under 3.1.1, and installing under 3.1.0 generates a 
_warning_ about the mis-match between 3.1.0 and 3.1.1.

It seems like biocLite() (if it's successful?) is writing to one library, and 
library() is reading from another. Perhaps .libPaths() in addition to 
information about permissions on each directory would help, e.g., if the user 
writeable library comes second, and there is already a version in the system 
library??. One can provide a 'lib' argument to both biocLite and to library to 
ensure that the both reference the same location.
