Actually, I have used R for a long time without any (apparent) problems
being "installed" this way. I just changed the mentioned variables
manually, and everything was running just fine -- until I needed to
check the HTML help recently. Therefore I thought that I've missed to
fix some config-file in an analogous maner to solve the problem with the
script that wasn't found by the system.
I assume that I have to recompile (something that I was hoping to avoid
due to the rather decent system I use currently) to get this issue
fixed. Am I right?
