JGR is a completely different beast and unfortunately it has to hard-code things, because it is not started via R CMD, so it doesn't know the right paths. For non-framework unix, however, we can do better, because JRI now uses autoconf, so it can pull the paths from R at configure time. I'll fix JRI correspondingly. > JGR also calls out to /usr/lib/R/share/sh/help-links.sh which is > probably not a good idea given that we have that in /usr/share/R/ > share/sh/help-links.sh instead.
