[R-pkg-devel] While using R CMD check: LaTex error: File `inconsolata.sty' not found

If you installed MacTex basic, you should have the command line utility
  tlmgr
available. On my system it is in
  /Library/TeX/texbin/tlmgr
and you may need to add this to your path. Using this, it is simple to
install additional packages, by
  tlmgr install inconsolata
You probably need to add a sudo to this, so the full command becomes
  sudo tlmgr install inconsolata

(depending on how old MacTex is compared to recent releases, you _may_
need to update tlmgr itself first.  I think it will be something like
  tlmgr update --self
but the program will tell you about this when you run it)

Best,
Kasper

I cannot find any recent solution to this problem, and older ones do not
seem to work.

I just installed the small version of MacTeX called BasicTeX, to allow my
package to build PDFs.   http://tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html

Everything worked, except I get the error  "LaTex error: File
`inconsolata.sty' not found".  I tried to install inconsolata.sty as
suggested here,
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help//2013-July/356743.html but
get an error saying zi4 is not there when following the Read.Me install
instructions:

Mac OS X: Method A (recommended): type

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c
sudo cp -Rfp * /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
sudo echo Map zi4.map >> /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/updmap.cfg
sudo mktexlsr

......

kpsewhich zi4.sty returns nothing

kpsewhich inconsolata.sty returns nothing

So they must not be installed.  Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks much,
