Rolf,
Sorry for only briefly chiming in, and late, but I don't usually follow
r-help that much these days.
I am writing this from an Ubuntu machine running R as well as RStudio from
pre-made binary .deb packages. R comes via apt from CRAN (using Michael's
binaries), RStudio from them via helper
I thought that I should let everyone know that I have, in some sense at
least, resolved my problem with 'no "doc" directory' and Rstudio. I
got a useful reply off-list from Duncan Murdoch (thanks Duncan) to the
effect that Rstudio requires its own purpose-specific binaries.
I was always under t
If you start R just using the regular command line version (not
RStudio), does
Sys.getenv("R_DOC_DIR")
point to /usr/share/R/doc ? The standard R startup script should do
that, but if it doesn't maybe you've got an override?
Or maybe you have R_DOC_DIR defined yourself?

Hello,

My ls command on /usr/lib/R on my home computer gives what Rolf posted,

with RStudio and ask for their help again. They are generally helpful, btw.
I follow installation instructions to the
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.

R documentation on my Ubuntu 20.20 is in /usr/share/R/doc.
I see no doc directories in the locations you mention using
locate /doc/
Maybe you should be asking on R-sig-debian, perhaps with less noise about
RStudio?

My R seems to be installed in /usr/lib/R. If do an "ls" of this
