When I installed R-1.7.0, the *.html files in /usr/local/lib/R/doc/manual all wound up being empty: ls -l *.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Apr 16 15:52 R-FAQ.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Apr 16 15:52 R-admin.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Apr 16 15:52 R-data.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Apr 16 15:52 R-exts.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Apr 16 15:52 R-intro.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Apr 16 15:52 R-lang.html I thought that they got put in automatically, and indeed the files are ***there*** there's just nothing in them. I did the usual ./configure make make check make install and no errors seemed to occur --- other than the permissions problem I alluded to in an earlier email. When I noticed that the *.html files were empty I tried doing make html explicitly --- although the instructions seem to indicate that this shouldn't be necessary --- and repeated the make install. Not a sausage. What am I doing wrong? cheers, Rolf Turner
