I'm running R 2.10.1 on a GNU/Linux Debian Squeeze (testing)
I type :
> help.start()
I get :
starting httpd help server ... Termin?.
Si 'xdg-open' est d?j? lanc?, il ne sera pas relanc?, et vous devez
passer ? sa fen?tre.
Sinon, soyez patient...
I think the translation is :
If '/usr/bin/xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and
you must switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...
Iceweasel starts and I get the page
http://127.0.0.1:28025/doc/html/index.html
Now I type :
> ?plot
It does not opens the help page in Iceweasel. It starts the R
documentation in my terminal.
To fix the problem :
Create a .Rprofile file in your home/'user' directory containing the
following command :
options(help_type="html")
I hope it will help.
