Hi Henrik: I just come across an unusual error when using aroma.affymetrix on our high-memory HPC machine. It may or may not be platform-specific, and I'll give you all the information I can in the hopes of isolating and identifying the error.

It's worth mentioning that I get this problem even if I open up permissions to the entire directory. The *CEL.tmp.tmp file appears to be written with write-protections, which is baffling to me. The machine is a large, high-memory cluster from my institution, and the error may be associated with this. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide with this. Best regards, Taylor -- -- When reporting problems on aroma.affymetrix, make sure 1) to run the latest version of the package, 2) to report the output of sessionInfo() and traceback(), and 3) to post a complete code example.
