Hi Lin,

Until this issue is definitively resolved, I know that installing
affxparser as follows will work:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("affxparser", type="source")

This requires that you have Xcode installed on your Mac.

I don't have access to the OSX so I cannot do this myself, by as far
as I have understood, the problem occurs on some of the OSX releases
on R v2.14.0.  Until this have been resolved, maybe we share such
"manual" builds online.  It appears that Snow Leopard, Leopard, and
Lion are the most common.  If you're on one of those and end up
building affxparser, could you please verify that it works with the
below, mail the the binary to me and I can make them available online.

library("affxparser");
library("digest");
pathname <- "annotationData/chipTypes/Mapping250K_Nsp/Mapping250K_Nsp.cdf";
fi <- file.info (pathname);
rownames(fi) <- NULL;
print(fi);

print(digest(file=pathname));

hdr <- readCdfHeader(pathname);
str(hdr);

Thanks
