We have been working with several libraries "forever", and I think I have n't seen your problem ever. For instance, I never install extra packages into the "standard" library (the one where "base" is in); have all CRAN packages in one library, bioconductor in another library, etc,etc. Iago> Can I force the help system to look in both places? Actually you forgot to specify which interface to the help system you are using. But I assume you mean the help.start() {webbrowser-"HTML"} one (which I very rarely use, since ESS and "C-c C-v" is faster; to follow links in ESS help buffers, after selection, often "h" <Return>" is sufficient -- ah reminds me of an ESS improvement I've wanted to implement...) For me, help.start() works fine including links between pages from packages in different libraries.
