For me the build is ok but the html file
does not appear. If you get the html file during build, then the
pandoc linking issue should cause my problems.
In Ubuntu 14.04 running "sudo apt-get install pandoc" install an
older version of pandoc than is required by R build for knitr
(pandoc>=1.12.3). And upgrading to >=1.12.3 is known to be
problematic in Ubuntu 14.04 (ample discussions on this available in
the web). I have already tried to install it based on various tips
from the web (including direct installations from source, yum
scripts, changing the repository etc) but no success so far. Hence I
was finally using RStudios pandoc since that is sufficiently new and
I got it working with the symbolic linking. Hopefully this pandoc
issue gets solved for the 14.04 LTS later on.

Hi Dan,
The command "pandoc -v" gives: "pandoc 1.12.4.2" so the version
seems
to be ok. I am also able to convert md file to html in R with the
knitr::pandoc command so pandoc seems to work.
However it might be worth noting that I am using pandoc via a
symbolic link from RStudio binaries
/usr/lib/rstudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc since updating to pandoc
otherwise in Ubuntu 14.04 has appeared quite problematic.
Not sure what you mean by that. I was able to build your package with
no problem. You might try removing that symlink and installing
pandoc with
sudo apt-get install pandoc
