trace an Rd conversion error in R cmd check
R CMD check is R code: you can run the R code for yourself using R's debugging facilities. In this case start with 'R CMD Rd2pdf pkg-name' (which should give the same error, as that is what R CMD check calls), then run that R code directly (there are comments in the code in R-devel about how to do so).

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
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.
This is far too rare a problem to be documented in detail.
