R help - Mar 2006 - installation problem with Biobase

Hello,
 I wanted to install MergeMaid package in v 2.2.1. I could install it but
couldn't use without its dependant, Biobase. at biobase installation, I got
the following error message
 
In method for function "split": expanding the signature
to include omitted arguments in definition: drop = "missing"
Error in .MakeSignature(new("signature"), def, signature) :
        the names in signature for method (x, f, ) do not match function's
arguments (x, f, drop)
Execution halted
ERROR: execution of package source for 'Biobase' failed
** Removing '/usr/lib/R/library/Biobase'
 Do you know any solution?
 
 Regards,

Haleh,

This question would be better asked on the Bioconductor mailing list.
You haven't told us what version of R you are using.  I suspect you
have a version mismatch.

With R 2.2.x you should be able to do the following to get MergeMaid
installed:
>From the R prompt do:
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("MergeMaid")

And if you have further questions, please review the posting guide__ and
then send a msg to the bioc list!
