There is an issue on the support site having to do with the inability to import the summary function from the namespaces from the packages listed in the subject line. I see the same problem/errors with my affycoretools package.
When you load ReportingTools, you get the following warnings: Warning messages: 1: In namespaceImportMethods(ns, loadNamespace(j <- imp[[1L]], c(lib.loc, : No generic function found corresponding to requested imported methods for "summary" from package "AnnotationDbi" (malformed exports?) 2: In namespaceImportMethods(ns, loadNamespace(j <- imp[[1L]], c(lib.loc, : No generic function found corresponding to requested imported methods for "summary" from package "Category" (malformed exports?) 3: In namespaceImportMethods(ns, loadNamespace(j <- imp[[1L]], c(lib.loc, : No generic function found corresponding to requested imported methods for "summary" from package "GOstats" (malformed exports?) Is this because of the following changes? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r94092 | hpa...@fhcrc.org | 2014-09-12 18:02:34 -0700 (Fri, 12 Sep 2014) | 7 lines Changed paths: M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/DESCRIPTION M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/NAMESPACE M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/createAnnObjs-utils.R M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/createAnnObjs.NCBIORG_DBs.R M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/methods-Inparanoid.R M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/methods-Inparanoid8.R M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/methods-geneCentricDbs.R - Drop dependency on IRanges (stuff from IRanges needed by AnnotationDbi is now in S4Vectors). - Add dependency on stats4 and import summary() from it.
