Rolf,
Sorry for only briefly chiming in, and late, but I don't usually follow
r-help that much these days.
I am writing this from an Ubuntu machine running R as well as RStudio from
pre-made binary .deb packages. R comes via apt from CRAN (using Michael's
binaries), RStudio from them via
I thought that I should let everyone know that I have, in some sense at
least, resolved my problem with 'no "doc" directory' and Rstudio. I
got a useful reply off-list from Duncan Murdoch (thanks Duncan) to the
effect that Rstudio requires its own purpose-specific binaries.
I was always under
If you start R just using the regular command line version (not
RStudio), does
Sys.getenv("R_DOC_DIR")
point to /usr/share/R/doc ? The standard R startup script should do
that, but if it doesn't maybe you've got an override?
Or maybe you have R_DOC_DIR defined yourself?

Hello,
R 4.1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.
My ls command on /usr/lib/R on my home computer gives what Rolf posted,
so I agree with every body that this is not an R issue and would insist
with RStudio and ask for their help again. They are generally helpful, btw.
I follow installation instructions to
Jeff pointed out where the doc directory is installed in Ubuntu:
/usr/share/R/doc. So this is definitely an RStudio issue: perhaps it
got "tweaked", or perhaps Rolf installed a version meant for some other
distribution. In either case, off-topic in R-help, I think.

R version 4.1.0 (2021-05-18)
RStudio 1.4.1714
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
I do not see a doc folder at R level but a lot of newer packages,
probably tidyverse derived seem to have a doc sub-folder containing
documentation files
For example corrplot
Hi Rolf,
What about:
mkdir /usr/lib/R/doc

R documentation on my Ubuntu 20.20 is in /usr/share/R/doc.
I see no doc directories in the locations you mention using
locate /doc/
Maybe you should be asking on R-sig-debian, perhaps with less noise about
RStudio?

My R seems to be installed in /usr/lib/R. If do an "ls" of this
directory, I get:

Definitely no "doc".
The (only) reason that I am concerned about this, is that I have decided
