Version: 1040 OS: Windows 98 SE Problem: I have installed R with all help files to a network read-only drive. help.start() requires rw on two files ../R/rw1040/doc/html/packages.html ../R/rw1040/doc/html/search/index.txt
What exactly is reported?
This is a minor issue as running R 1.4.0 help from the start menu works fine.
But it won't work fine if the set of installed packages is changed, if that is an issue.
Perhaps the next version may address this?
Could you suggest a patch? Does adding try() as in try(make.packages.html(.libPaths())) try(make.search.html(.Library)) help?
That's a very good idea! Of course, in these cases the administrator has to call these functions (or link.html.help()) manually again (don't know if this is still documented or deleted from docs since the updates are done automatically).
