Hi,
I couldn't find the vignette for the package 'parallel' (Mac OS X 10.7.3; R
2.15.0). I then tried to (re)install the package (I know I comes with R
natively). I obtained:

What's wrong?
Cheers,

PS: Dirk Eddelbuettel sent me the vignette off-list, I just would like to know
how I could get it via 'vignette(package="parallel")'.
Do you have the vignttes from grid, or the one from utils?
Unfortunately not: ,---- |> require(grid) | Loading required package: grid |> vignette(package="grid") | no vignettes found |> require(utils) |> vignette(package="utils") | no vignettes found |> `----
If not, you'll need to re-install R. (I just installed the binary R-2.15.0.pkg from CRAN, and didn't get those vignettes: so it looks like the current binary isn't installing them.)
I installed R from source: ,---- | wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.15.0.tar.gz | tar -xzf R-2.15.0.tar.gz | cd R-2.15.0 | ./configure | make | make check | make pdf | make info | sudo make install | sudo make install-info | sudo make install-pdf `---- Do I need to do anything additionally to get the vignettes?
I don't usually build on a Mac, but there is a make target called "vignettes", so perhaps you need to explicitly make that. Duncan Murdoch
