Greetings:
This should be easy but it isn't. I have a home-brew package that works fine, with compiled html help pages, all 150 of them. I want to make a similar package but not from scratch since only a half-dozen routines are changed. So I created a new directory, copied the old package into it and changed the name to newSTUFF. I changed the names of all help pages too, as weill as their aliases, and of course I changed the DESCRIPTION. Then I executed R CMD build --binary newSTUFF. The package was built, including the compiled help pages, and automatically zipped. I install the package, and then load it and it runs perfectly - EXCEPT for the "help(newSTUFF)" command, which gives this error message: No documentation for ' newSTUFF ' in specified packages and libraries: you could try '?? newSTUFF ' But when I look at the contents of the ZIP file that R has made, it says the newSTUFF compiled help pages are there: newSTUFF/ newSTUFF/chtml/ newSTUFF/chtml/newSTUFF.chm What's even more puzzling is that the command: help(package=newSTUFF) DOES work, as it should. Only help(newSTUFF) doesn't. How did I mess this up? Thanks.
