Re: [R] 'help' information not modified when I modify man files

Re: [R] 'help' information not modified when I modify man files
The problem was that I was using the unzipped distributed package, rather than the source. Once I got the source I was fine. See http://bioconductor.org/packages/1.8/bioc/html/LMGene.html for links to source and package. Installing from source works differently from installing from a package, and it was messing me up.
