Hi, I have a strange package installation problem after update to R 2.11.0 on Fedora Core 12.
A colleague of mine with the very same Fedora and R versions doesn't have this problem, while logging on to his computer but installing from my settings and into my local library path also shows the problem, so it seems to be related to some of my environment settings. Installation of several packages fails during installation of help indices. The error is: "Error: invalid regular expression '^[[:blank:]]*" The packages for which installation failes, with the respective help files after which the error occurs: robustbase: NOxEmissions tuneR: lilyinput kernlab: kha rrcov: CovSest seewave: wasp Any ideas? btw, i just copied my colleague's installation folders to mine, and it seems to work; for me the problem is solved for now. But it would still be good to know what the problem is.
