Hi,

Having r-doc-html unstable package installed (as well as most r-cran-*
packages), I cannot navigate around some links after doing help.start().
For example navigating into -> Packages -> stats4 yields an error "The
file or folder /tmp/Rtmpquh6Pg/.R/library/stats4/html/00Index.html does
not exist".  Is anyone else having this problem?


Cheers,
Tyler Smith

Well that's an easy answer. No, I don't have r-base-html, and now that
you mention it, I recall deliberately not installing it since I never
use it!

Cheers,

Hm, this works for me.  

Do you have 'r-base-html' installed ? The stats4 package is part of the core
R package set, but its html documentation gets stripped off into this large
(6.9 mb) extra package as I reckon that not everybody really uses it.

I didn't have it installed neither, so that was the problem.  I actually
do use html help regularly.  A bit like searching the toolbox.


Thanks,
