Is the cdf file really in your R_home directory, or is it somewhere
else? If so, you need to either change your working directory to the
location of the cdf file, or you need to explicitly state the location
in your call to make.cdf.env().
One other possibility (if the cdf is where R is looking), is that the
cdf is in binary format. You can test this by opening the cdf using
WordPad. If you can't read anything, it is binary.
Affy is changing from text to binary format for the cdf files, and we
don't yet have the functions to handle the binary format. Binary
compatibility is being worked on, and should be done soon.
