Hello,
R 4.1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.
My ls command on /usr/lib/R on my home computer gives what Rolf posted,
so I agree with every body that this is not an R issue and would insist
with RStudio and ask for their help again. They are generally helpful, btw.
I follow installation instructions to the letter and have never had any
problems like this one. If the installation of R seems OK, have you
tried to uninstall and reinstall RStudio?
rui@rui:~$ ls /usr/lib/R
bin COPYING etc lib library modules site-library SVN-REVISION
rui@rui:~$ ls /usr/share/R
debian doc include share
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Jeff pointed out where the doc directory is installed in Ubuntu:
/usr/share/R/doc. So this is definitely an RStudio issue: perhaps it
got "tweaked", or perhaps Rolf installed a version meant for some other
distribution. In either case, off-topic in R-help, I think.

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.

Hi Rolf,
What about:
mkdir /usr/lib/R/doc

Should/shouldn't there be one?
My R seems to be installed in /usr/lib/R. If do an "ls" of this
directory, I get:
bin/ COPYING@ etc/ lib/ library/ modules/
site-library/ SVN-REVISION
Definitely no "doc".
The (only) reason that I am concerned about this, is that I have
decided
to experiment a bit with Rstudio, and it apparently wants a "doc"
directory. When I try to start Rstudio I get a pop-up window with the
error message
R doc dir (/usr/local/lib64/R/doc) not found.
Note that /usr/local/lib64/R is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/R.
The latter is where my installation put R; the former seems to be where
Rstudio wants it to. So I created the symbolic link.
The discrepancy between locations is another puzzle/worry.
My installation comes from a pre-built binary ("sudo apt install
r-base"). I apparently have the latest version. I remark that I am
running Ubuntu 20.04 with a Mate 1.20.4 desktop.
How can I get a "doc" directory into my R directory and make Rstudio
happy?
cheers,
Rolf Turner
P.S. I have also tried to ask about this on the Rstudio community
forum, but it seems to me to more of an R question than an Rstudio one.
