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

When I try to load Biobase 1.11.32 in the latest versions of R (from about 3 sep onwards) I get the following error message. I'm not sure whether this is a R problem or a Biobase problem. This doesn't happen to a july version of R2.4, and looking at the check page for 1.9 it doesn't happen with the aug 31 version either. I have now tried it on different systems and a few versions (even compiled R for windows on the latest src snapshot). It does not happen on a linux system with the latest R.
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,
