I'm having trouble installing bioconductor packages - it just pretends that they dont' exist:
> source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
BioC_mirror = http://bioconductor.org
Change using chooseBioCmirror().
Warning messages:
1: In safeSource() : Redefining ‘biocinstall’
2: In safeSource() : Redefining ‘biocinstallPkgGroups’
3: In safeSource() : Redefining ‘biocinstallRepos’
> install.packages("GEOQuery")
Installing package(s) into ‘C:/Users/ron/Documents/R/win-library/2.13’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘GEOQuery’ is not available (for R version 2.13.1)
I have R 2.13 installed - its the current install for Ubuntu 11 and RStudio. the latest bioconductor docs say they are for R2.14.
After building another build in ubuntu which installed fine, I get the same response:
> install.packages("GEOQuery")
Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘GEOQuery’ is not available (for R version 2.14.1)
Can anyone help here? Going bonkers. Have gotten this to work on my Mac laptop, but that's not a great place to do work that can take days to run...
thanks!

Edit by Kevin Blighe: This is now outdated. The correct procedure to install a Bioconductor package is now
BiocManager::install("GEOquery")
----------------------------
Like the other answers, I originally thought that your problem was spelling, i.e. GEOquery (correct) not GEOQuery (incorrect).
However, now I see that you are using:
install.packages("GEOquery")
When you should be using:
biocLite("GEOquery")

You have two options that I know of.
1) go to bioconductor and download the packages and install them using R CMD (command line) for R 2.13. You will build the packages manually. It's not too hard.
2) install and older version of R that is compatible with the package you are using.
I would recommend the first option.
The first option will only set you up for frustration -- you'll install packages that do not have appropriate versions for your R version, or that do not have dependencies with correct versions installed. The second option isn't usually the right solution either, because Bioc packages have a long life; the mis-capitalized GEOQuery won't be in those earlier releases either! The recommended installation instructions are at http://bioconductor.org/install/ and packages available with each R version are described on pages linked in the 'Previous Versions' box of http://bioconductor.org/help/
@Martin_Morgan is of course correct, unless you like painful {R} sessions.
