Hi All,

Apologies if this is a very naive question. ?Is there a way to see the
particular Rd file being processed right before a warning/error
occurs? ?As far as I can tell, all my .Rd files use have names and
titles and they are unique between Rd files (sometimes in a file I use
something like \name{foo} \title{Foo}). ?I seem to be able to convert
files to latex using: R CMD Rdconv --type=latex on all my Rd files
without problems.

Here is the warning and error:

* checking PDF version of manual ... ERROR
Rd conversion errors:
Warning in file(con, "r") :
?file("") only supports open = "w+" and open = "w+b": using the former
Error : : Sections \title, and \name must exist and be unique in Rd files

For what it is worth: I also get this error when I try to "R CMD
check" any of my many packages on R Under development (unstable)
(2011-10-13 r57231) on Windows 7. ?It does not occur with R version
2.14.0 alpha (2011-10-14 r57245). ?I haven't had time to troubleshoot
this and I figured I'll wait a few revisions.

The error does not occur when using tools::checkRd(), e.g.

setwd("R.methodsS3/man/");
filenames <- list.files(pattern="[.]Rd$");
dummy <- sapply(pathnames, FUN=tools::checkRd);

/Henrik

I am using:

R Under development (unstable) (2011-10-11 r57214)
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
on Windows 7 with Rtools 2.14 and MikTeX 2.9

Any suggestions or pointers to manuals/documentation would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh
