[BioC] snapCGH fails in runBioHMM

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Dear All,

snapCGH (v. 1.12 in BioC 2.4 for sure; most likely v. 1.13 in BioC 2.5 too) 
fails with the error  

C symbol name "runNelderMead" not in DLL for package "snapCGH"

The problem is that the NAMESPACE file is not loading the required code. Sure 
enough, if one loads the .so file manually (e.g., 
via "dyn.load('path-to-library/snapCGH.so')") things work. 


So, while the package gets fixed, what would be the orthodox way to get 
packages that depend on snapCGH to work?


Best,

R

************************

Two reproducible examples:

a) Using function fit.model (which is docummented but not exported in the 
NAMESPACE, which is available since v. 1.12):

ydat <- matrix(rnorm(100), ncol = 1)
datainfo <- data.frame(Name = 1:100, Chrom = rep(1, 100), Position = 1:100)

snapCGH:::fit.model(sample = 1, chrom = 1, dat = ydat,
                    datainfo = datainfo)



b) Using the code in the vignette (the vignette does not fail, as the crucial 
chunck has "eval=FALSE", and the help for runBioHMM has no runnable 
examples):

datadir <- system.file("testdata", package="snapCGH")
targets <- readTargets("targets.txt", path=datadir)
RG1 <- read.maimages(targets$FileName, path=datadir, source = "genepix")
RG1 <- read.clonesinfo("cloneinfo.txt", RG1, path=datadir)
RG1$printer <- getLayout(RG1$genes)
types <- readSpotTypes("SpotTypes.txt", path=datadir)
RG1$genes$Status <- controlStatus(types, RG1)
RG1$design <- c(-1,-1)
RG2 <- backgroundCorrect(RG1, method="minimum")
MA <- normalizeWithinArrays(RG2, method="median")
MA2 <- processCGH(MA,method.of.averaging=mean, ID = "ID")
SegInfo.Bio <- runBioHMM(MA2)
