Dear Matthew (or anyone that can help me),

I am trying to create my own vectors using frmaTools. Therefore I am also using a custom cdf enviroment. But somehow I receive error's trying to create the vector. I'm sure that I use the "cdfname" the wrong way but can't find any examples on how to use it probarly.

I used it this way:

newVecs <- makeVectorsAffyBatch(files = CelFilenames, batch.id = rep(1:200, each = 5) ,cdfname = "hgu133plus2sharedprobescdf", verbose = TRUE)`

The hgu133plus2sharedprobescdf is an enviorement, that works if I use it for the function :

readAffy( "file.CEL" ,cdfname= "hgu133plus2sharedprobescdf") 

I receive the following error:

Error in packageVersion(cdfname) : 
package 'hgu133plus2sharedprobescdf' not found
Calls: makeVectorsAffyBatch -> packageVersion
Execution halted

Some how it can't find the package I load in, or I am using it the wrong way. 

I hope that someone can help me out with this.

Thanks in advance!

The error message is telling you that it is looking for the package version of your cdf and not finding one. This is likely because you created the cdf environment but not a package. makeVectorsAffyBatch wants a package so that it can check that when you run frma on new data it was read in using the same version of the same cdf. This was done to increase reproducibility and encourage those who develop new frmavectors to share their work with others via a package.
