Could not create DVI version

I can run R CMD check with current CVS version of R on dse_2003.3-1 on
Solaris 8 successfully (using gcc 3.2, but that's not relevant here).
I just confirmed that I get the same problem with that version of dse.
I'm using  SunOS 5.8 and perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris.
There is

  est.wt.variables                  text    html    latex
     missing link(s):  est.min.sqerror

but that's a long-standing error in your packages.
Fixed in my sources now.
This does look like a problem in your Solaris setup.

In Solaris with R-1.7.0beta from 2003-04-01 I still have a problem with

This typically indicates Rd problems.

I can manually gererate the dvi from setRNG-manual.tex, so I don't  think
my latex is defective as I speculated last week.
Your Perl?
The file texput.log
indicates

                        ^
I get

**\nonstopmode{}\input{setRNG-manual.tex}

so something is wrong.
Yes. Any suggestions of something else I should try?

Thanks,
