[BioC] affylmGUI segfault on "pd.ragene.1.0.st.v1"

[Harry Mangalam]

Hi All,

I've been trying to get affylmGUI to run on my laptop (3GB, Ubuntu 
8.04, R as below:
=====
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20)
i686-pc-linux-gnu

locale:
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C

attached base packages:
[1] tools     tcltk     stats     graphics  grDevices utils     
datasets
[8] methods   base

other attached packages:
[1] affylmGUI_1.16.0     affy_1.16.0          preprocessCore_1.0.0
[4] affyio_1.6.1         Biobase_2.2.1        limma_2.16.3
=====
The commands to start affylmGUI are:
library("pd.ragene.1.0.st.v1") # the array set, from Matt Settles
library("oligo")
library("affylmGUI")
affylmGUI()

when I try to load data, whether my own (or the estrogen data set), it 
segfaults at the same place:
After I select a working directory, and select the targets file 
(included below), [R churns for a few seconds], and give the new data 
set a name, I can see that the data is 'available' via the data tree 
in the left panel.

At the point where I try to view the RNA targets via Menu -> RNA 
Targets -> RNA Targets, and release the mouse button, it segfaults, 
leaving the traceback:

http://moo.nac.uci.edu/~hjm/affylmGUI.traceback

As I said above, this is the case if it's my data or the estrogen data 
set.

If I try to bypass that step and go direct to normalization (with my 
data), it will eventually emit the error that I don't have the 
correct CDF environment:

==== Error message ====
Error in getCdfInfo(object): Could not obtain CDF environment, 
problems encountered: Specified environment does not contain 
RaGene-1_0-st-v1 Library - package ragene10stv1cdf not installed. 
Data for package affy did not contain ragene10stv1cdf Bioconductor - 
ragene10stv1cdf not available
=======================

This despite loading without error the correct (from Matt Settles) 
library beforehand. > library("pd.ragene.1.0.st.v1")
Does the spelling variant muck it up?  

Best wishes,
harry
