Hi,
I couldn't find the vignette for the package 'parallel' (Mac OS X 10.7.3; R
2.15.0). I then tried to (re)install the package (I know I comes with R
natively). I obtained:

What's wrong?
Cheers,

PS: Dirk Eddelbuettel sent me the vignette off-list, I just would like to know
how I could get it via 'vignette(package="parallel")'.
Do you have the vignttes from grid, or the one from utils?
Unfortunately not:
,----

If not, you'll need to re-install R. (I just installed the binary
R-2.15.0.pkg from CRAN, and didn't get those vignettes: so it looks like the
current binary isn't installing them.)
I installed R from source:
,----
| wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.15.0.tar.gz
| tar -xzf R-2.15.0.tar.gz
| cd R-2.15.0
| ./configure
| make
| make check
| make pdf
| make info
| sudo make install
| sudo make install-info
| sudo make install-pdf
`----
Do I need to do anything additionally to get the vignettes?
I don't usually build on a Mac, but there is a make target called
"vignettes", so perhaps you need to explicitly make that.
