[R] help-links.sh not found by help.start() -- do I need to recompile?

Dear Rexperts,
after building R 2.4.0 from source in a temporary directory (*without*
installation), and subsequently moving the whole source/build tree to
another location, I have noticed that I had to change the variables
R_SHARE_DIR, R_INCLUDE_DIR, and R_DOC_DIR in the wrapper-script
/lib/R/bin/R as to reflect the current situation.
However, when I try to run the HTML help via help.start() I still get an
error message saying that:
sh: /tmp/r-project-build/usr/lib/R/share/sh/help-links.sh: No such file
or directory
Interestingly, the system still tries to search for scripts in
/tmp/r-project-build/, the temporary build directory that clearly isn't
valid now.
My question is: has the mentioned path become hard-coded in the binaries
or am I
missing some config-file/wrapper script that needs to be edited in order
to reflect the current state?
Thank you in advance for any hints!
All the best,
Ivailo
