In Solaris with R-1.7.0beta from 2003-04-01 I still have a problem with
"R CMD check" after I build a package:
* creating setRNG-manual.tex ... OK
* checking setRNG-manual.tex ... ERROR
Could not create DVI version.
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. The file texput.log
indicates
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (format=latex 2001.1.12) 1
APR 2003 12:09
**\nonstopmode\inputsetRNG-manual.tex
! Emergency stop.
<*> \nonstopmode\inputsetRNG-manual.tex
*** (job aborted, no legal \end found)
I don't know what this is suppose to mean, or whether this is where I am
suppose to look for the source of the problem. Other than the ongoing
occassional segfault problems with sweave (gc?), everything works fine
in Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1 (with R-1.7.0beta from 2003-03-31).

I've seen that several times: I think there is an Sweave-related gc problem.

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).
There is
est.wt.variables text html latex
missing link(s): est.min.sqerror
but that's a long-standing error in your packages.
This does look like a problem in your Solaris setup.

Your Perl?

I get
**\nonstopmode{}\input{setRNG-manual.tex}
so something is wrong.

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.

Yes. Any suggestions of something else I should try? Thanks, Paul

What locale are you using? Might it be worth using setenv LANG=C (or your shell's equivalent) R CMD check dse ? I'm wondering about the input encoding to LaTeX: not that I know much about it as an Anglophone.

Brian I tried LANG=C without success, but it seems there is something in our latex startup script that causes the problem. The latex call actually executes a csh script that sets local variables then executes the latex binary. If I bypass the script and make a direct call to the binary then the problem goes away. Thanks for your help. Paul

Paul nd I tried to nail down the problem several times ... but as the bug didn't shon on our machines, it was impossible for me to track down the bug yet.
