I checked the idrPlotWrapper.sh file and it just renames the two *.sav files to idrPlot-uri.sav and idrPlot-em.sav prior to running the R script on them. Running batch-consistency-plot.r manually on the two files gives this cryptic output: null device 1 but a idrPlot-plot.ps file is actually written. The next step of idrPlotWrapper.sh invokes ps2pdf on it and it works just fine if I run it manually. Thus it should not be an R problem. Thx Federico Il 06/12/13 16:15, Björn Grüning ha scritto:

Hi,

my guess is that some previous steps failed and the assumed tempfile was not created. That can have many different reasons, probably some R dependencies are missing. Try to run the generated commandline from your terminal and catch more error messages.

Hi,

recently I installed the idr_package from the Galaxy tool-shed but the tool IDR-plot does not work for my Galaxy instance.

This is the error message:

GPL Ghostscript 8.70: **** Could not open temporary file ./database/tmp/gs_DtCtic **** Unable to open the initial device, quitting. mv: cannot stat `./idrPlot-plot.pdf': No such file or directory

It seems it doesn't find an expected temporary file. Does anybody have suggestions?

Many thanks
