Subject: [Rd] Problem with Rchtml.dll in R-2.3.0dev-win32.exe?
Message-ID: <435D3E77.9060803@math.ucalgary.ca>

Not really a problem, but I can't figure this out:
(OS: Windows XP SP2)

I have both R-patched ("R version 2.2.0, 2005-10-21")
and R-devel ("R version 2.3.0, 2005-10-21") installed.
For both, I set options(chmhelp = TRUE).
R-patched has no problems, but in R-devel, attempts to access
help result in a Windows error message:

"The procedure entry point HtmlHelpA at 16 could not be located
in the dynamic link library hhctrl.ocx."

with an R error message:

Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
  unable to load shared library
'C:/StatisticsPrograms/R/Rdevel/bin/Rchtml.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  The specified procedure could not be found.

Replacing Rchtml.dll in \bin with that from R-patched fixes the
problem.

A hex file compare claims the two versions of Rchtml.dll are
identical, except for the creation dates.

Any ideas?
