R version and packages problems

I am trying to work with project that analyzed with simpleaffy package. I always get this strange message with whatever R version I change to

 <package ‘simpleaffy’ is not available (for R version 3.4.2)
 <package ‘simpleaffy’ is not available (for R version 3.2.2)

so, what R version fits for simpleaffy and genefilter??????

and same case for genefilter package I use

<install.packages("genefilter")>

but it gave me this error

" Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘genefilter’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):  there is no package called ‘Rcpp’"

so, what R version fits for simpleaffy and genefilter??????

Any help please is highly appreciated

r

Thanks for your response. but I always start my work by <source("http: bioconductor.org="" bioclite.r")="" and="" still="" getting="" this="" error<="" p="">

I tried that before i post my question but thanks anyway

Then why did you install.packages("genefilter")? That's not how you install bioconductor packages..

This is because this package is not available on CRAN but on Bioconductor.
