[BioC] OntoCompare Error

Hi Johannes,
 
Did you feed a list of GO ids or a vector? of GO ids? I took some of your ids to try to reproduce the error but I didn't get any. Here is what I did:
 
mygo=c("GO:0003677", "GO:0004386", "GO:0005524", "GO:0016787", "GO:0001882",
  "GO:0003779", "GO:0005509", "GO:0005515", "GO:0042803", "GO:0051015",
  "GO:0003677", "GO:0003700", "GO:0005515", "GO:0008270", "GO:0043565",
  "GO:0046872", "GO:0000166", "GO:0003774", "GO:0003779", "GO:0005515")

ontoCompare(list(mygo),plot=T,probeType="GO")
 
My R information is:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03) 
i386-pc-mingw32 
locale:
LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252
attached base packages:
[1] "tools"     "methods"   "stats"     "graphics"  "grDevices" "utils"    
[7] "datasets"  "base"     
other attached packages:
 goTools       GO annotate  Biobase 
 "1.6.0" "1.14.1" "1.12.0" "1.12.2" 

 
If you are feeding a vector of length 14000, ontoCompare is going to see your argument as a list of 14000 unique entities and that may be a reason for the error.
If you are using the same type of input, could you please send me some of your GO ids in a .txt file, the command you are using and some information about which version of R, GO and goTools you are using so that I can reproduce the error and try to fix the problem? 
 
Best,
 
Agnes

Thanks so much for this clarification, but now I isolated all the GO terms
for my data set and fed a list (14000 or so) of them to the function
in 'result <- OntoCompare(list,probeType = "GO")' fashion and this results
in a similar error:

Error in as.vector(x, mode) : invalid argument 'mode'

Am I still not getting this tool?
