I am trying to use affylmGUI in SUN OS 5.8 and did not succeed. I will appreciate some help. I could not get the nice console R window or RGUI after these commands: > library(affylmGUI) > affylmGUI I am using Xterm Exceed. I also installed BWidget and Tktable. I might be missing some other devices. I would appreciate some help on running "affylmGUI" Thank you very much. Roger Roger L. Vallejo, Ph.D. Assist.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with "Exceed", but you should be able to run affylmGUI from an xterm. The line: > affylmGUI looks wrong. It should be affylmGUI(). But maybe this is just a copy-paste error between R and your email software. Please let me know what errors (if any) you get from the following: library(limma) library(affy) library(tcltk) tclRequire("Tktable") # after running library(tcltk) tclRequire("BWidget") # after running library(tcltk) tclvalue("auto_path") library(affylmGUI) I used to have an automatic message box, asking "Start affylmGUI (Yes/no) ?" after loading library(affylmGUI), but this would mean that the entire affylmGUI() program was run before finishing the initialization function for the affylmGUI package (.First.lib()) and this seemed to cause problems on some operating systems, so at the moment, on non-Windows systems, you have to type or copy/paste: affylmGUI() I do most of my testing on Windows, but I do have access to Fedora Linux (and with a bit of effort, maybe I could try installing R etc. on a SUN machine...)
