ERROR: building help failed for package 'ggplot2'

Any ideas?  That particular file is
http://github.com/hadley/ggplot2/tree/master/man/scale_brewer.rd, but
I can't see any reason it would be causing problems.  The whole
package is available at http://github.com/hadley/ggplot2/

Hadley

What OS is this, what Perl?

Arbitrary.

Problem is that Hadley uses

 \code{\link{\code{\link{....}}}}

in files scale_continuous.rd and scale_date.rd
