Duncan,
This is not a problem with anything you just did, but I'm writing you
and ccing r-devel, in case I am allowed to post there (which I think
I'm not).
The problem (in case this gets to r-devel) is that I need to have
static html files for all packages, and static html ONLY for new
packages. You have fixed the latter problem in the latest version of
R-devel (11/08/09), in "R CMD INSTALL". But when I install R-devel
from source I cannot get all the html files. The configure script has
an option for --enable-prebuilt-html, and this does build the static
html files for about half of the standard packages! These include
base, utils, tools, ..., but they do not include datasets, boot,
cluster, ...
I can of course work around this by using your new version of R CMD
INSTALL after installing everything else. It does not wipe out the
executables that are already installed (I think). But this might
actually be a bug that was not intended.
Jon
