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.
