[BioC] ReadAffy(widget=TRUE) on OSX 10.4

[Marcus Davy]

Hi,
I am getting the exact same problem on a fresh install of OS X 10.4 on a
G5 patched to 10.4.2 .
On starting the R.app, and starting X11, and running the commands;

library(affy)
ReadAffy(widget=T)

I hear the CPU fans kick in and the R.app and tcltk window becomes non
responsive.

This also happens if I try using vExplorer() with tkWidgets;

library(tkWidgets)
vExplorer()

whereas

Sys.putenv("DISPLAY"=":0")
library(tkWidgets)
vExplorer()

from the command line version of R works ok and the windows do not
freeze. Something to do with the
Gui and tcltk maybe?

Subject: [BioC] ReadAffy(widget=TRUE) on OSX 10.4

Whenever I try to run ReadAffy(widget=TRUE) I have a widget pop up in an
X11 window, however it hangs. Either only a partial window comes up or a
window comes up with a list of CEL files. In the latter, I am unable to
select any of the files. It requires a force-quit to end both X11 and R.
Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this (e.g. running on OSX
10.4)? I have just installed all of the packages and even ran
update.packages() to make sure everything was current. 
It's possible that this may still not produce a completely up-to-date
system as I have seen threads claiming the compiler errors in plier have
been fixed (malloc.h). However, the version I just downloaded from
bioconductor.org still has the bug, which I had to fix in order to get
successful compilation (runs fine).

Thanks,
Jeff

R 2.1.1
OSX 10.4
