[R] "Missing links": Hmisc and Design docs

[(Ted Harding)]

Hi folks,

Using R Version 1.6.2  (2003-01-10)
on    SuSE Linux 7.2,
I just installed Hmisc_1.5-3.tar.gz and Design_1.1-5.tar.gz
These were taken from
   http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r

Checked the dependencies:

Hmisc: grid, lattice, mva, acepack -- all already installed

Design: Hmisc, survival -- survival already installed, so
        installed Hmisc first

All seems to go well till the "help" docs are compiled,
whereupon I get several reports of "missing links", as below
(where I omit cases with no such reports). I can't recall
seeing "missing links" when installing other libraries.

Two questions:
1. Have I overlooked something here, which I should have done?
2. Do these "missing links" matter?

Or is this simply a manifestation of Frank Harrell's comment, on the
above site, that "I still have not had time to fix details in the
documentation that will allow R CMD check to be passed, which would
allow me to submit the libraries to CRAN."

If that is the explanation, then I withdraw all the rest of this, with
sincere thanks to Frank for generating these packages and making them
available (and with experience-based sympathy for the task of getting
such details right!).

With thanks, and best wishes to all,
Ted.
