[BioC] Newbie 'rflowcyt' question; problem loading facscan256.fcs

[Ulrik Stervbo]

Hi all,

I am all new to R and rflowcyt; I've googled and searched looked
through recent mailinglist archives, but to no avail...

I am trying to load the facscan256.fcs, as described on page 5 (yes 5)
of 'Using RFlowCyt' from 3 April, 2006. I am stuck with this error:
    Error in if (my.metadata.Text.verbose[last] != my.metadata.delimiter) { :
        missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

I have no idea what I am doing wrong - I installed the packages with
getBioC(c("rflowcyt")) (as root). It looked like the packages which
rflowcyt depends on were also installed.

> sessionInfo()
Version 2.3.0 (2006-04-24)
i686-pc-linux-gnu

attached base packages:
 [1] "tools"     "grid"      "splines"   "methods"   "stats"     "graphics"
 [7] "grDevices" "utils"     "datasets"  "base"

other attached packages:
   Biobase   rflowcyt     locfit      akima     fields    rfcdmin     hexbin
  "1.10.0"    "1.4.0"    "1.5-3"    "0.5-1"      "2.3"    "1.4.0"    "1.6.0"
colorspace    lattice    splancs         sp       MASS KernSmooth     xtable
     "0.9"   "0.13-8"  "2.01-17"   "0.8-14"   "7.2-27"  "2.22-17"    "1.3-2"
  survival
    "2.24"

Btw. Biobase was not loaded with > library(rflowcyt) (or require(rflowcyt)).

The problem is probably very FAQ, I just can't find the answer.

Thanks in advance for any help
