[R] hetlp_type text doen't work on Ubuntu
Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Re: [R] hetlp_type text doen't work on Ubuntu
Don't know the internals behind, but when I did this:
> help.search('qplot', rebuild=T)
the text help started working. It would be interesting to know why it
worked that way. Also if it is happens always, it should have been
documented somewhere -- so that new users (who needs help) will not
get disappointed [I was using R without help until i found about
option(help_type='html')].
Anyway, i'm glad that it started working.

I'm glad it started working too, but it seems extremely likely
that your problem was specific to your system. R's help system does
normally work fine "out of the box" -- there are thousands of Ubuntu
users, and none that I'm aware of has ever reported this particular
problem before.
