You didn't say what distribution/platform you are using.  If you
are using Red Hat Linux/Intel or Red Hat Linux/Sparc or Linuxppc
then it is my problem. 

These files are generated by the post-install script. You should
see something like this when you install:

[root at hobbes i386]# rpm -Uvh R-base-0.64.0-1.i386.rpm
R-base                      ##################################################
updating LibIndex for library  /usr/lib/R/library ...
updating HTML index ...

If the script did not execute for any reason then I would like to
know why. Let me know what the error message was.  Also, you should
check that you are using a fairly up-to-date version of rpm. I am
using version 2.5.2.

The rpms for the contrib packages will be updated when I get a spare
moment (which may not be soon).
