[BioC] Problems encountered using affy in R

[mary.e.logue at ucd.ie]

Hello everyone,

I am new to R. I have downloaded R 1.6.2 from CRAN. Then I followed 
the instructions on the bioconductor website for windows (I'm using 
windows 2000 professional) and typed in getBioC(libName="affy"). I 
answered yes to download XML version >= 0.92-2. It then said that the 
following packages were not updated: annotate, genefilter, geneplotter, 
edd, ROC, multtest, affy. vsn, Biobase, tkWidgets.

I then installed affy using the install package option in R. 

I then loaded affy by typing library(affy) and tried to read in some files 
by typing affyfiles <- ReadAffy (widget=T). It gave the following 
message:

Loading required package: tkWidgets
Loading required package: tcltk
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package):
             TCD_library is not set
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos): tcl/tk package 'tcltk' not available --
forget about 'tkWidgets'!


I don't know what to do now so your help would be very much 
appreciated.

Regards,

Mary Logue
