R devel - May 2001 - help.start() failed (PR#936)

On my system help.start() failed with "could not write
.R/doc/html/packages.html
"
or equivalent. This due to /usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/packages-head.html
having protection -r--r--r--. After inserting 'chmod u+w ${PKGLIST}'
after 'cp ${R_HOME}/doc/html/packages-head.html ${PKGLIST}'in
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/help.links, it works.

BTW. bug.report() fails with "mailx: not found" also.
