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

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?
