Subject: [Rd] Minor "make check" bug. (PR#777)
Message-ID: <200012191409.PAA06270@pubhealth.ku.dk>

If you build R with the following sequence

./configure
make R
make check

Then "make check" fails at the following point (in examples for help()
itself)

> try(help("bs", try.all.packages=FALSE)) # reports not found (an error)
Error in help("bs", try.all.packages = FALSE) :
        No documentation for `bs' in specified packages and libraries
> help("bs", try.all.packages=TRUE) # reports can be found in package `splines'
Error in help("bs", try.all.packages = TRUE) :
        No documentation for `bs' in specified packages and libraries
Execution halted

Evidently this is because the help pages for the package `splines'
have not been built.  The simplest solution would be to wrap the
second call to help in a call to try.
