LaTeX for mac- problem making documentation files HELP!
I have pdf files for all of the functions in my package in the Ecosystem.Production.Rcheck file. They do not have an index is the only thing that looks to be off, but they were created.

As it says, one of the Rd files is probably not correct, so the LaTex is not correct. Possibly the log will tell you more, but LaTex error messages can be very confusing. Check your Rd files are correct. Have a look at some existing packages to make sure you understand the format. Remove the Rd files and then add individually and build to see which one is causing the failures. If you can't work out what is going wrong, start with the simplest possible file and then add to it.
