Dear, I've noticed that using certain functions in affy and oligo (eg oligo::read.celfiles and affy::bg.correct) start with downloading another package and end with either R crashing or a warning that -after installation succeeded- the package is not available. After which using some functions of both packages still crash R.
The warning I get when trying oligo::read.celfiles() on a single CEL file right after installing it about the pd.hugene.1.0.st.v1 package. The even more annoying thing is that on my machine it insists on building from source, whereas on another Windows machine without Rtools, it downloads a binary. Reason it frustrates the heck out of me, is that both affy and oligo crashed the R session in different ways. During installation of a package, during use of a function, and at different points when comparing my machine with the one of our students. The culprit seems to be in one of the underlying packages, but I wasn't even able to detect which package is the culprit, let alone which function crashes everything. Is there a way around this so I can ensure that at least I have the same setup as they have and I can try to come up with a reproducible example to report this critical bug?
