R devel - May 2005 - Problem with limmaGUI (PR#7877)

Full_Name: Edoardo Giacopuzzi
Version: 2.0.1
OS: Windows XP Home
Submission from: (NULL) (80.181.65.157)


I have some problem with this new version of R GUI.
I've used limmaGUI package with an older version of R and it works
perfectlly,
but now with the last version R 2.0.1.0 two error boxs appear every time I try
to launch this package:
1. <<Error in list.files(path, pattern, all.files, full.names, recursive):
regular expressione 'pattern' not valid>>
2. <<Error in try(expr, TRUE): oggetto "source.files" not
found>>

The package correctly load the grapich interface anyway, but I've
experimented
some problems when I try to load my .gpr files for analysis: the program often
crash!

Thanks.

Hello,

The first error message is the kind of error that appears due to some 
changes in grep() and the like in R 2.1.0 and when they are used to test 
some string issued from Tcl (limmaGUI uses tcltk, isn't it?) I have the 
same kind of errors with SciViews and have to adjust the code to make it 
fully compatible with R 2.1.0.

I would recommend to contact the package maintainer and ask for an 
update for version 2.1.0 of R. In the meantime, you should continue to 
use R 2.0.1 with limmaGUI, if you really need the GUI.

Best,

Philippe Grosjean

You should report problems with contributed packages to the maintainer. 
  Most often they are caused by incompatibilities with something new in R.

limmaGUI isn't a package on CRAN, so that's what I'd expect in this
case.
