[BioC] Question

[jcurry at vbi.vt.edu]

Hello,
I am using soychip data for R which unlike human etc is not
publicly available so it is not available in the metadata on bioconductor.
>
> I have it on my desktop, sent directly from affy.
> Being on the desktop, I thought that meant the cdf files were available,
BUT
> When I am attempting to read the data for the soybean file, I type in
eset <- rma (Data)  and the error reads this:
> “Error in getCdfInfo(object) : Could not obtain CDF environment,
problems encountered:
> Specified environment specified did not contain Soybean
> Library - package soybeancdf not installed
> Data for package affy did not contain Soybean
> Bioconductor - soybeancdf not available”
>
> The soybeancdf has been installed into the affy library but it is
not on Bioconductor’s website of packages available to download.  Is
this why it will not open?
>
> Any suggestions as to what I should do to rectify this problem?

Thank you.
