[R-SIG-Mac] Help files not available

I am having trouble with my R installation after upgrading to El Capitan (although the timing could be entirely coincidental). The help files are not available, for instance:

> help("lm")

Opens the help window in the R GUI, but the message there is: Error in file(out, "wt") : cannot open the connection

Similarly:

> ?lm
Warning message:
In file(out, "wt") :
  cannot open file '/var/folders/68/x1590pm56yvbbhrkcshd1_yw0000gn/T//RtmpJfjb7P/Rhttpd3bb208bacf': No such file or directory
>

The problem persists after a restart of R and the computer.

Installation details: R 3.2.1 GUI 1.66 Mavericks build
System details: OS X 10.11.1

Thanks in advance for your help
