Hi Duncan,
I must be misunderstanding something. It is not that I want them built at
installation time, but when I try to display the html help for any
function the html page is not built; e.g. cliking on the link to get() in
the base library, the message appears:

An error occurred while loading
file:///usr/local/lib64/R/library/base/html/get.html:
The file or folder /usr/local/lib64/R/library/base/html/get.html does not
exist.
