If you build R with the following sequence ./configure make R make check Then "make check" fails at the following point (in examples for help() itself)
try(help("bs", try.all.packages=FALSE)) # reports not found (an error)
Error in help("bs", try.all.packages = FALSE) :
No documentation for `bs' in specified packages and libraries
help("bs", try.all.packages=TRUE) # reports can be found in package `splines'
Error in help("bs", try.all.packages = TRUE) :
No documentation for `bs' in specified packages and libraries
Execution halted
Evidently this is because the help pages for the package `splines'
have not been built. The simplest solution would be to wrap the
second call to help in a call to try.
