[BioC] Problems using pdInfoBuilder to create an Affymetrix Mouse Diversity annotation package

[Christoph Standfuß]

Hello, everyone

I am currently analysing a couple of Affymetrix Mouse Diversity 
Genotyping Arrays. Unfortunately there is no annotation package 
available yet. So I tried to create an own annotation package using 
pdInfoBuilder, the CDF and annotation files provided by Affymetrix 
library files.

I followed the instructions, given in the manual. Whenever I select 
"AffySNPPDInfoPkgSeed" as package class, I get the error:

 > makePdInfoPackage(pkg, destDir = wd)
Creating package in /media/0C025E96391493AF/data/FSP/pd.mousedivm520650
Error in data.frame(pmi = batchMat[isPm, "indices"], mmi = 
batchMat[!isPm,  :
   arguments imply differing number of rows: 28132, 19132
Error in is(object, Cl) :
   error in evaluating the argument 'bind.data' in selecting a method 
for function 'dbSendPreparedQuery'
Timing stopped at: 22.109 7.016 29.95"



I guess the problem might be that Bioconductor is not able to handle the 
CDF file correctly? I tried R 2.10.* (bioconductor 2.5) and R 2.12 
(bioconductor 2.7), but I had always the same problems.

My sessionInfo() is
