I just tried looking at the documentation on ``Writing R extensions''
using my web-browser. I clicked on the foregoing topic and
got the message ``The document contained no data ....''
Sure enough, when I investigated
/usr/local/lib/R/doc/manual
all of the files there (from ``R-FAQ.html'' to ``R-lang.html'')
were
empty --- there were files present, but all contained 0 bytes.
The files date from when I did the latest install (of 1.4.1) so
I must've screwed something up in the installation process.
(a) What might I have screwed up? I'm pretty sure
that I simply did
./configure
make
make check
make install
fairly mindlessly, and nothing untoward appeared to happen.
(b) How might I get the appropriate files, rather than the
empty ones, into /usr/local/lib/R/doc/manual? Preferably
without redoing the entire install procedure.
Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
