[Bioc-devel] generics from Biobase not found during package installation
Hi Seth, you are right, importing the whole Biobase namespace indeed also fixes the problem. At the moment I'm not sure if this is a better solution than the one proposed by Robert (it certainly is in terms of typing work). But for me it seems as everthing is working just fine using both alternatives. I don't have any idea why you can't reproduce this on every machine. Maybe you are not running the release R-2.2.0. I also don't get this error on R-2.2.0 devel. My current version info is: platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 2.0 year 2005 month 10 day 06 svn rev 35749 language R So once this issue is settled for good would it be possible to pushed the patched package into the release branch?

Hi Florian,
I still don't understand why I don't see the error everywhere. I can
only reproduce with our automted build account. Everywhere else I
try, prada builds and checks just fine (prior to your changes).
I just did the following experiment using the build account where I do
see the failure on accessing the "description" generic:
Added to NAMESPACE the following line:
import("Biobase")
After that change, I was able to build without error. I understand
what Robert is getting at with respect to SaveImage and what can and
cannot be done at build and/or install time vs load time. I don't
know exactly what the NAMESPACE stuff is doing and perhpas it is
changing the behavior of SaveImage?
Can you see if simply modifying NAMESPACE to import Biobase solves the
problem on your systems?
Best,
+ seth
