Ok, I uninstalled my copy of HHW (and deleted the extra file from the Rtools/bin folder), and reinstalled from the murdoch-sutherland site. From what I read there I think it's the same version, and I actually get a warning that I already have a newer version installed on my machine (1.3.1) anyways. Just for good measure I installed it to C:\HTMLHelpWorkshop, instead of the default location in Program Files\HTML Help Workshop, in case the spaces in the folder names was an issue. I updated the Path variable and voila, everything seems to be working fine. So, whatever the actual problem was, it's gone now. Magic. Thanks!!
On a related note, now that I seem to be on top of installing packages from source files, is there any advantage to installing the R software itself from source files? From the help files that sounds even trickier...
Yes, there some advantages, for example:
- if you want to change something in the sources
- if you want to link against some CPU optimized linear algebra system such as Goto's BLAS, etc.
But if you want to use R as is anyway (as most several users do), you won't have advantages from my point of view.
