[Bioc-devel] Problem loading Biobase in newest R2.4 for windows

This is because of some changes in S4 objects in R-devel. You can't just 
use the win32 binaries from BioC right now (the release 1.9 binaries 
that is) because they have to be rebuilt using a newer version of 
R-devel that has the changes (which are still being made AFAIK). If you 
can build source packages on your windows box, you can always use

biocLite("packagename", type = "source")

which will download and install the source packages, which will then 
work. Unfortunately this doesn't work for certain packages because they 
need special babying on windows (XML, RCurl, RMySQL, maybe some others). 
These have to be installed by hand.

HTH,
