[BioC] PdInfobuilder: Preparing data from Affymetrix HuGene expression arrays

[Mary Putt]

Hi,

I have been trying to follow earlier posts as to how to make a package 
that I could use in oligo to read in an Affy expression dataset from the 
HuGene platform. I downloaded what appear to be the correct files from 
the Affy website and tried to run the  makePdInfoPackage(pkg, 
destDir=".") function but received an error as shown below.

Also I was not able to find much documentation on how to build this 
specific package in pdInfoBuilder--are there other sources of 
documentation that I've missed?

Thank you,

Mary
