[BioC] error when trying to load the affy library

[James MacDonald]

You are using the release version of Bioconductor. You need to get the
devel version if you are going to be using R-1.8.0. Unfortunately, the
devel win32 affy package is not compatible with R-1.8.0, so it has to be
compiled from source. The source files fail build, so I cannot send you
an actual package, but I will send you a zipped affy folder that you can
stick into your ~/rw1080/library folder.

Run getBioC("affy","devel") to upgrade, and make sure that Biobase is
upgraded to 1.3.34 (the bindingIsLocked error comes from Biobase
1.3.22), then replace the affy folder with what I send you and you
should be good to go.

Good luck!

Jim

Hi, I just upgraded R to 1.8.0 and reloaded bioconductor and now get
the
following error when trying to load the affy library:

> library(affy)
Error in bindingIsLocked(m2, where) : not an environment
Error in bindingIsLocked(m2, where) : not an environment
Error in getClass(Class, where = topenv(parent.frame())) :
        "MIAME" is not a defined class
Error in library(affy) : .First.lib failed

Any ideas?
