I can reproduce this (with a 1.5.0 prerelease, though). I can't get a
handle on what the reason might be, but it did seem to work simply to
unzip pixmap.zip into rw1050/library. The HTML help will not be quite
perfect, but hey, there are only two functions in the package...

pixmap.zip was built with 1.3.1, so maybe a repackaging would be in
order.
