Hi Duncan,
I must be misunderstanding something. It is not that I want them built at
installation time, but when I try to display the html help for any
function the html page is not built; e.g. cliking on the link to get() in
the base library, the message appears:

An error occurred while loading
file:///usr/local/lib64/R/library/base/html/get.html:
The file or folder /usr/local/lib64/R/library/base/html/get.html does not
exist.

It sounds as though you have an old library that will need to be rebuilt to work with 2.10.1. The link in the base page should be to something like

http://127.0.0.1:26057/library/base/html/get.html

(the port number will vary), not to

file:///usr/local/lib64/R/library/base/html/get.html
