R version 4.1.0 (2021-05-18) RStudio 1.4.1714 Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
I do not see a doc folder at R level but a lot of newer packages, probably tidyverse derived seem to have a doc sub-folder containing documentation files For example corrplot has a doc subfolder containing corrplot-intro.html corrplot-intro.R corrplot-intro.Rmd index.html Jim Lemon's suggestion seems worth trying but I really think this is some RStudio weirdity. I have been using RStudio for 3-4 years and a several complete installations on new machines and tave never seen anything like "R doc dir (/usr/local/lib64/R/doc) not found". RStudio keeps getting tweaked.
