similar to: Activating html help in R 2.10

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

I just upgraded from 2.8.1 to 2.10 on Windows Vista. BIG MISTAKE apparently because now when I type: > help(functionname) or ?functionname I get only a small text window giving some very basic info on the topic, e.g.: base-package package:base R Documentation The R Base Package Description: Base R functions Details: This package contains the

Using R on Linux I want to force downloaded packages to go into /usr/local/lib/R/site-library. I have an .Rprofile file in my home directory containing the following: options(help_type='html', browser='chromium-browser', repos='http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/R/CRAN', lib='/usr/local/lib/R/site-library') But sometimes install.packages (with R run as

Hi dear all I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and R 2.10, I can find a R release that support "karmic" in cran under ubuntu directory, I plan to update my laptop to Ubuntu 10.04 after April 30, since I have to use some new features or new version in it, e.g. QT 4.6, I don't know if there is going to be a R release that will support this newly released Ubuntu? Thanks in

Dear R People: I just installed R-2.10.0 on Karmic Koala Ubuntu, via the sudo apt-get install r-base, etc. However, when I try to install an Rcmdr Plugin package, I get the following: > install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual",depen=TRUE) Warning in install.packages("RcmdrPlugin.qual", depen = TRUE) : argument 'lib' is missing: using

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 have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this?

Dear R Debian People: I have put this on regular R help as well, but thought that I'd try here too. I updated to R-2.10.0 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala via apt-get update, apt-get install. Then I had a problem that said that I need MASS <= R-2.9.2. Fair enough. Uwe Ligges was kind enough to point out that I needed to use > update.packges(checkBuilt=TRUE) So I did. Now the menu on Rcmdr

Having loaded a package that masks an object from another package, calling help(conflictedname, help_type = 'html') instead of producing a page giving the choices of help page available The page produced is Error in httpd("/library/NULL/help/nobs", NULL, NULL, c(48, 6f, 73, 74, : replacement has length zero This example is reproduced using library(gdata) help(nobs,

I don't understand the advantages of generating html help dynamically, but I have found some clear disadvantages. One is that I can no longer use a bookmark in my browser to access the list of packages and go from there to individual help pages. The other is that, if I try to use ESS instead (using options(help_type="html") in .Rprofile) - it is a mess. ESS splits the emacs frame

This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages sources. What am I doing wrong? kindest regards, Stephen Sefick see- Session info

Dear R-users, I've just installed the last version of R (2.10.0) in Windows and found a completely new version of the help pages. Basically, they now appear as a simple (even if slightly embellished) text file. I tried to install it with a customized startup and realized that the old CHM files (the default for Windows up to 2.9.2) are not included anymore as a possible choice. I don't

After a clean install of R 4.0.0 (R-base only) on Mint 19.3, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/base/html is empty. However, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/boot/html contains files 00Index.html and R.css. Correspondingly, the command help(package="base", help_type="html") produces the text "No package index found for package base". The same occurs when clicking

Hi - Not a mission critical issue, but still highly annoying. I just upgraded R to 2.10.0 (the binary for Ubuntu karmic) and the tab completion facility now inserts a space after every completed term (something it didn't do in 2.9.0 or 2.9.2). It wouldn't be an issue so much if it weren't for the fact that it screws up tab-completing the next term, i.e. if I have a list of lists of

Hi all Apologies if this is a trivial question- I have searched the lists and the online help files etc but have not managed to find anything. I recently downloaded the latest version of R, which has the help type set to htmlhelp as default (according to http://127.0.0.1:18380/library/utils/html/help.html) I would very much like to be able to access the help files when I am offline by typing
