R help.start() opens a web browser as expected, but the ?Manual? html links are dead (although the ?Reference? and ?Miscellaneous Materials? html links do work). I get a similar problem from within RStudio. I?d like to get pointy-clicky html manuals working, to help migrate users from SAS to R. I do see R manuals on this system from the EPEL R rpm's in info and pdf form, for example at /usr/share/info/R-intro.gz and /usr/share/doc/R-3.2.3/manual/R-intro-pdf I?m running R-3.2.3, installed from EPEL rpm?s on RHEL6.7.

I see this. This is a consequence of R requiring texinfo 5.1 or newer and RHEL6 having texinfo 4.1. I'll bundle in pre-built manuals for those cases (RHEL 5 and 6 only). ~tom == Red Hat

HTML manuals are working fine with your updated version. That seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the quick work!
