when i running arrayQualityMetrics, i met a broblem like this,
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable):
unable to find an inherited method for function "platformspecific", for signature "character". 
I want to use arrayQualityMetrics to analyse Affymetrix data- after preprocessing.

Before using
arrayQualityMetrics, i used ReadAffy on my CEL file to get an  AffyBatch abject,
then used RMA algorithm on the object to obtain a preprocessed dataset,
finally called arrayQualityMetrics to analyse the preprocessed, then the error appeared.

when called ReadAffy and rma, no erros found,
and i can call the arrayQualityMetrics on the MLL.A subject provided in the data package ALLMLL without any error.

Following is the commonds i used and the results,
GSM162264.CEL is the CEL file got from GEO.

>test <- ReadAffy("GSM162264.CEL",
                  widget=getOption("BioC")$affy$use.widgets,
                  celfile.path=NULL,
                  sampleNames=NULL,
                  phenoData=NULL,
                  description=NULL,
                  notes="",
                  rm.mask=FALSE, rm.outliers=FALSE, rm.extra=FALSE,
                  verbose=FALSE,sd=FALSE, cdfname = NULL)

>ntest = rma(test)

>arrayQualityMetrics(expressionset = "ntest",
                     outdir = "Report_ntest",
                     force = TRUE)
The report will be written into directory 'Report_ntest'. 
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function "platformspecific", for signature "character"


>test
AffyBatch object
size of arrays=732x732 features (17 kb)
cdf=Maize (17734 affyids)
number of samples=1
number of genes=17734
annotation=maize
notes=

>ntest

so, how should i fix the problem, expecting for your help, appreciate very much.
