After building and installing R 1.3.1, i find some of the html files missing:
total 0
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys              0 Oct 17 22:16 R-FAQ.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys              0 Oct 17 22:16 R-admin.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys              0 Oct 17 22:16 R-data.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys              0 Oct 17 22:16 R-exts.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys              0 Oct 17 22:16 R-intro.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys              0 Oct 17 22:16 R-lang.html

I can trace this to the lines

.texi.html:
        $(MAKEINFO) --no-split --html -I$(srcdir) $< -o $@ || touch $@

in the file

doc/manual/Makefile

where MAKEINFO is defined (in the same file)

MAKEINFO = false

(correctly, because I don't have the info system installed).

The html files for the packages are all built correctly. The final front
(index)
page for the html documentation also has broken links to various COPYING,
THANKS,
etc. pages.

Well, those files are based on texinfo sources. Without the makeinfo
program you're not going to get them built...

(This is orthogonal to having the info *reader* system installed).
