Description Stuart Luppescu 2009-11-10 23:19:53 UTC
The package html doc files are at
/usr/lib64/R/library/<package>/html/00Index.html. In this file, are references to individual function doc files like this:
<tr><td width="25%"><a href="anova.html">anova</a></td>
<td>Anova Tables</td></tr>
These files don't exist in that directory or anywhere.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In package html doc, click on function name
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
File not found

      

      
      
      

      
        
        

          

Firefox can't find the file at /usr/lib64/R/library/stats/html/anova.html.

Expected Results:  
Help file should be displayed.

They were there in previous versions but they've disappeared.

I am not so sure they are still available upstream.  Could you confirm it?
Thanks

Now I'm really confused. If I do help.start() it brings up the html help pages and I can navigate to the anova.html page with this URL:
 http://127.0.0.1:30450/library/stats/html/anova.html
However, I can't find the file anywhere on my computer. 

I guess I can use help.start() to bring up help, but it's much more convenient to just have a bookmark set in my browser.

There is not much we can do here. You could try to report upstream and see and they could re-produce the links as in previous versions.
Re-open if this is not really an upstream issue.

Thanks,
