[R-pkg-devel] pdflatex is not available

It sounds like you're on a Mac? Then you need to install MacTeX,
http://www.tug.org/mactex/ to get pdflatex.

Does anyone know why I might get this error?

Hmm ... looks like a package

Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet,  :

   pdflatex is not available

Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet,  :

*Error in running tools::texi2pdf()*

You may want to clean up by 'rm -Rf

/var/folders/0m/41bxx35j5x9f_tks7zrd7jh00000gn/T//Rtmpuv00M5/Rd2pdf8f2a123193cb'

* DONE



There are no clues in the Rdlatex.log
I have attached the ...manual.tex file.  Is there a way to check it for
non-ascii or non-printing characters on a Mac?  I have had that problem
before, but I'm not finding any now.  Maybe I have the wrong command?


find /Users/user/CATkit/CATkit/man | perl -ne 'print if /[^[:ascii:]]/'

find /Users/user/CATkit/CATkit/man/CatCall.rd | perl -ne 'print if
/[^[:ascii:]]/'


Should there be a pdf file somewhere?

Thanks,
