I am having problems installing R under Fedora Core 3. I installed R
using YUM
yum -install R. 
The basic installation appears to have worked, I can start and run R.
When I try to start the HTML help system, I get the errors listed
below.
Any help solving my problem would be appreciated.
Thanks
John Sorkin
