R version and packages problems

Question

[onemore100iq]

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

Have you tried reading the installation instructions here? https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/simpleaffy.html

It's the first page when you google simpleaffy

I tried that before i post my question but thanks anyway

[WouterDeCoster]

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

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

Bioconductor packages are installed with

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("simpleaffy")

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