[BioC] how to run the pre-2.0.0 install add-on package

[weinong han]

Hi, all,
 
I wrote the command:library() and can find the package GenePattern available:
GenePattern             ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) **
However, it cannot work, just like as below, when writing the command:
library(GenePattern)
Error in library(GenePattern) : there is no package called 'GenePattern'
 
The manual of GenePattern software says:
If you are using a version of R which you cannot modify (because it is a publicly-shared version and you don't have appropriate privilege), you can have it load the GenePattern library by setting the environment variable R_LIBS=GenePattern install directory>/R/library in your autoexec.bat, .cshrc, .bashrc or other shell startup file. R will then load from its usual location, but will also search for and find the GenePattern library from your installation.
 
I am a new user to R(OS: WINDOWS XP), and didn't understand the words and know how to run the procedure.
 
Any suggestions and advice will be appreciated.
 
I am looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards
