Indeed, the R version is 2.9.2. But the package was built on the very

but on another machine does not show this nasty behavior. Upgrading,
however, could pose more problems as it solves, since even if I could
upgrade locally, it would be a mess to assure that all colleagues
upgrade as well.

Anyways, even if the chm format is not supported any more by current
versions of R, it should work with older ones, right? So, what can I do
additionally to get to the bottom of this problem?



During the last years, Mircosoft "patched" parts of the chm system by disallowing different features by default. It may see some result of these patches. Anyway, hard to say what is going on without seeing your binary package, your system setup, the libraries where you have installed you package and the otehrs, knowing if these are network paths or local storage, .....

Which version of R is this?
CHM help is R<  2.10.0. All versions thereafter do not support compiled
html help anymore.

Please upgrade your version of R and try one of the currently supported
help formats.

Best wishes,

Hi all,

currently I'm working on an R package bundling some frequently used
functions. When I load my package and type

?one_of_my_functions

I get the particular help file. If I try to get help on another
function, which is part of package stats (prcomp say), I get "This
program cannot display the webpage". A help on ?mean does, however,
work
as it opens a new window showing the help on mean.

There is another peculiarity, if it happens that I requested a help
file
for a function in the package stats before I used the help on one of
my
functions, everything works out fine.

Does anybody know how I can get rid of this annoying behavior? It has
to
have something to do with my particular package, since everything
works
as expected with another package of mine.

I override one of the functions of stats (biplot.default), which is,
however, not exported and resides within my namespace. Could that be
the
reason?

Any help highly appreciated. Thanks + BR,

Thorn
