[R-SIG-Mac] Problem with tkrplot and affylmGUI

[Jan de Leeuw]

This is not hard to fix. The problem is that the tcltk module needs
to load tkrplot, and in order to do this tkrplot needs to be linked
as a dynamic library (tkrplot.dylib), not as a bundle (tkrplot.so).
It is best to download the package, then use R CMD INSTALL, then
manually edit the link statement replacing --bundle by --dynamiclib,
link again, and manually install tkrplot.dylib. You also need to edit the
R code in tkrplot so that it loads with the correct dylib extension.

> Dear all,

> As affylmGUI requires tkrplot package from R, I have installed tkrplot
> package from CRAN and when I load the library for tkrplot, I get the
> following error:
>
>> library(tkrplot)
> Loading required package: tcltk
> Error in structure(.External("dotTcl", ..., PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class
> = "tclObj") :
> 	[tcl] no suitable image found.  Did find:
> 	/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.1.1/Resources/library/tkrplot/libs/tkrplot.so:
> not a dylib.
> Error in library(tkrplot) : .First.lib failed for 'tkrplot'
>
> On another note, it is related to the problem when I do the following:
>
>> library(affylmGUI)
>> affylmGUI()
>
> The affylmGUI program is loaded up but you will encounter the error box:
> Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos);
> Object "PlotOptions" not found
>
> The problems, I think that it's related as affylmGUI requires tkrplot
> package
>
> Does anyone have possible solutions?
>
> Cheers in advance in helping me to solve the problem.
