the command biocLite() installs a number of packages; the above message 
is NOT an error, but an information message saying that the packages 
mentioned above are to be installed. Likely these packages are retrieved 
from the internet and installed on your computer, there should be quite 
a bit more output before returning to R, or are you saying that R stops 
working after the message above?
