[BioC] Minor problem with siggenes's command sam2excel when entrez=TRUE

[Manca Marco (PATH)]

Dear Holger and dear Bioconductors,

I am using siggenes to perform SAM on the dataset gse9820 (mainly replicating the elaboration described by the authors of the object). It works perfectly but when I am exporting my SAM output of interest to a .csv files it gives me an error message if I ask to add Entrez links to the output (entrez = TRUE). It works just fine if I omit this requeste:

> sam2excel(sam.out1, 0.4, "control_patient_diffExpr12.csv", excel.version=2, n.digits = 5, entrez = TRUE, what = "both", quote = FALSE)
Loading required package: annotate
Loading required package: AnnotationDbi
Error: getAnnMap: GPL6255.db package not attached and load is FALSE
Error in mget(x, envir = getAnnMap(what, chip = data, load = load), ifnotfound = NA) : 
  error in evaluating the argument 'envir' in selecting a method for function 'mget'


whilst


> sam2excel(sam.out1, 0.4, "control_patient_diffExpr.csv", excel.version=2, n.digits = 5, what = "both", quote = FALSE)
Output is stored in control_patient_diffExpr.csv 


This is not a major issue, since I have already the Entrez ID ( NM_######.#)  instead of the Illumina ID on the output files:
> sam.out1 <- sam(gse, gse$characteristics_ch1, gene.names = fData(gse)$GB_ACC)

Yet I wonder if there's a way to make it work. I have tried preserving the Illumina ID (basically omitting the #gene.names = fData(gse)$GB_ACC# option from the sam command) along my analysis and then associating the sam output to an annotation database (through the #chip = "chipID"# option) in sam2excel but it didn't work, neither with "lluminaHumanv2BeadID" nor with "lumiHumanAll".

Where am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Marco
