Dear maintainer,



I used bioconductor package, pdInfoBuilder, to make a microarray platform annotation package.

I named this package, pd.pdinfo.gpl11164.ndf.txt. This "self-made package" is to be used with oligo package.



Prior to using oligo package, I need to install the annotation package, pd.pdinfo.gpl11164.ndf.txt, and cannot just copy it to the library tree.

I tried using the install.packages with various arguments, only to fail the installation.



For example:

install.packages("pd.pdinfo.gpl11164.ndf.txt", lib="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.1/library", destdir="C:/Users/ZHUGRP/Desktop/Yanmin's Microarray Paper/Yanmin Microarray RAW/pdInfoBuilder").



I also tried to change the enviroment to .tar.gz, which also failed.

install.packages("pd.pdinfo.gpl11164.ndf.txt.tar.gz", lib="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.1/library", destdir="C:/Users/ZHUGRP/Desktop/Yanmin's Microarray Paper/Yanmin Microarray RAW/pdInfoBuilder", repos=NULL)



The pd.pdinfo.gpl11164.ndf.txt.tar.gz is located on my OS Windows 7 machine. I am trying to install it from my machine, using R "Good Sport."



I've looked in manuals and FAQs with no success.

If possible, I know this is very straight forward, however, am I missing a critical argument?

Hope to hear from you soon.



Regards,

Franklin
