Hello,

I am trying to run "RCMD check" on a package. It performs OK, with the exception of a single warning:
* checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ... WARNING
Package vignette(s) without corresponding PDF:
   AnnotationFuncsUserguide.Rnw

As I understand the problem, the vignette is not built. However, I have no problems in doing so manually.
How do I fix this problem? I cannot find any logs for building the vignette, however the output from building the pdf-file of the manual is found in the .Rcheck folder. 

On a similar note, as my vignette includes a biblio, I have to run "latex" twice to get the citations referenced properly with a number. Is this an issue? How can I work around it? (The package is submitted to BioC, so there might be other rules there?)

Thank you in advanced.
Yours sincerely,

R CMD build should build the vignettes. If it did not succeed, see its 
output for details.

You can also use tools::buildVignettes to do it manually.  But R CMD 
check is reporting that you failed to do it at all: it is not the job 
of R CMD check and the PDF of the vignette should be in the 
tarball/directory you supply to be checked.

            

      
      
      
    

        
It indicates that you failed to use the tools we provided, R CMD 
build, tools::buildVignettes() and tools::texi2dvi().
