Binary versions of sma and hwriter can be found on your CRAN repository.

How they get installed may depend to some extent on which repository  
you use and your OS (which you have not offered).

?install.packages

Hi Hassan --

The sma author no longer wishes to maintain this package, and beadarray
depends on sma. The workaround is to manually install sma from its
archive: download

  http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/Archive/sma/sma_0.5.15.tar.gz

and install.packages("sma_0.5.15.tar.gz", repos=NULL).

beadarray is a Bioconductor packages, so please follow up on the
Bioconductor mailing list
