Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi Dirk,
In a Ra session,
help(matrix) # -> No documentation for 'matrix' in specified packages
The issue is that my .libPaths() is
[1] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library"
[3] "/usr/lib/Ra/lib/R/library" "/usr/lib/R/library"
so help(), by default, looks in /usr/lib/Ra/lib/R/library (which
apparently does not have working help pages) before it looks in
/usr/lib/R/library . Thus,
help(matrix, lib.loc = .libPaths()[-3])
yields the expected behavior, and help() works when lib.loc is
unspecified if the function you are looking for is in a package
contained in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library or /usr/lib/R/site-library .
Looking at the directories ...
bgoodr...@room320:~$ ls /usr/lib/Ra/lib/R/library/base
CITATION demo DESCRIPTION man Meta po R
bgoodr...@room320:~$ ls /usr/lib/R/library/base
CITATION CONTENTS demo DESCRIPTION help html INDEX latex man
Meta po R R-ex
it looks like the core packages are not really "installed" by Ra, which
perhaps is an intentional aspect of the way the sources of R and Ra are
overlayed. If so, then we could probably workaround this problem in
several ways (massive symlinkage, patch help() and example() to not look
in /usr/lib/Ra/lib/R/library , reorder .libPaths() after the core
packages are loaded, etc.), but I am not sure what would be best.
Thanks,
Ben
