similar to: CHM help not working

Hi, Chm (compiled help) is a microsoft invention. It's the default help system under windows, but not so under linux. I found that (at times) I like better how chm help looks. Since there are chm viewers under linux, using chm help files should be possible. Has anybody tried to set R so it opens chm by default? I'm sure there's some flag or Rprofile var that could get this done.

I would like to be able to start the Wine .chm file-viewer, C:\windows\hh.exe, from the command-line like this: wine hh.exe /some/dir/somefile.chm It works if the current directory contains the .chm file, but not if I have to specify a path. Am I missing something?

Future Pinball (a free pinball simulation) have some chm help files. I can't see it with 'wine hh.exe file.chm' command (chm are okay with a native viewer, like gnochm) Is there a way to make it works ?

Dear all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale

Hi, I would need some help in solving a problem with my R. Whenever I try to type " ?paste " or in general any command for the html help in R, I receive this error message. The strange thing is that I have never had this kind of problem in the past with R, and now I really don't understand why it says that. Also I have selected every single element in the installation process. The

I am using R-1.8.0 on both systems and HTML Help Workshop 4.74.8702.0 on Windows XP. I created the package under Linux.

I just built a package in R (version 2.1.1 on a Linux machine) and then moved it to my computer (R version 2.8.1 on a Windows machine). When I loaded the package and tried to open help for one of the commands, I got the following warning: Warning message: In print.help_files_with_topic("F:/R/R-2.8.1/library/REEMtree/chm/RMSE") : No CHM help for 'RMSE' in package

First: Contrary to claims chm viewing is NOT fixed.It's better but graphics and the index are still broken. I washed my hands on bug reporting of the problems, as I now use firefox with the chm addon which works even better than the last kchmviewer I tried. Great News: I installed the latest PBWin9.0 and the first example I tried worked flawlessly. This surprised me as this was a COM example

Hi, I have been trying to configure Wine to associate kchmviewer with chm files in hopes of having kchmviewer launch whenever I push a help button within SkyTools 3 (http://www.skyhound.com). I am running Wine 1.3.18 under Ubuntu 10.10 on an amd64 machine. I followed the instructions in the Wine FAQ at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-91bf3f0a8ccbfab8dee96f82fae2f1a489e0d243 and have tried

Dear R-helpers, When installing a source package I can suppress the compilation of .chm files by using the --docs="normal" option. Is it also possible to suppress the creation and checking of .chm files when calling R CMD check ? best, ingmar

Please excuse my first couple of probably quite a few newb questions. Are there still probs with viewing chm files? If I browse to the chm file and just launch it seems fine until I try search for a subject. I search, find what I'm looking for, click it and the help file closes. If I use wine hh / winepath windows path it launches but if I click search I can't try the search, it's

Hello, I've spent a while reading about configuring WINE for use with hhc.exe to create .chm files. These instructions almost work: http://code.google.com/p/htmlhelp/wiki/HHW4Wine But, when comparing the Windows-generated .chm to the Linux-generated .chm, the Linux-generated one does not have sorted or consolidated index entries. It seems that whatever part of the process is responsible for

Dear R Users, I've installed R with the chm option, but eventually I found I am more used to the normal way of latex help. Is there any argument to suppress chm help by default when starting R? So that I don't have to type something like >help(rle,chmhelp=NULL) I know the last resort would be to reinstall R. Thanks in advance! - J
