Hi Avril -- the page you reference indicates the package became 
available with Bioc version 2.8, but you're using 2.6 (with R version 
2.11; probably it indicated that earlier in the message or in 
sessionOutput; I'm guessing from the mapping between R / Bioc versions 
listed in the 'Previous versions' box at 
http://www.bioconductor.org/help/). The solution is to use a more recent 
R. At this stage I'm tempted to suggest R-2.15 alpha.
