Dear all,
I use BioConductor affy package on a Mac OS X 10.4 machine, ReadAffy
crashes R. The same problem has been reported earlier by another user
(see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conduct
or/16747), but no solution has been suggested yet.
Here I show you the error message, session and debug information for
R 2.7.1, but the same problem has been observed under R 2.6.0 (both 32
bit and 64 bit versions).
Please let me know if you have any ideas/comments/suggestions. Thanks
a lot!
