Hi,
When running help.search(“linear algebra”) or any other valid search keyword
the following error is being returned:
Error in help(db[i, "topic"], package = db[i, "Package"], lib.loc = lib, :
'topic' should be a name, length-one character vector or reserved word
I have not installed the optional packages neither Tcl/Tk nor Texinfo.
Any ideas what the error could be, what can I do to fix it?
It's probably just your email, but R won't understand "smart quotes"
like you use above. But if you tried that, you'd get a different error:
> help.search(“linear algebra”)
Error: unexpected input in "help.search(“"
Assuming what you really typed was using plain ASCII quotes, please try
a recent R-patched version. The search
help.search("linear algebra")
works fine for me there.
