Subject: building a package on a Mac: pdflatex
Hi All,
I am building a package on my MBP (latest R, latest OSX, TexLive 2010), and I am incurring in some annoying problems with R CMD check:
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
* checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR
Re-running with no redirection of stdout/stderr.
Hmm ... looks like a package
Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, :
pdflatex is not available
Error in running tools::texi2dvi
My comment is, pdflatex *is* availiable:
$ :/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin$ ls -l pdflatex
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 21 Oct 2010 pdflatex -> pdftex
and
$ :/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-darwin$ ls -l pdflatex
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 21 Oct 2010 pdflatex -> pdftex
How do I get R CMD check to play nice with my latex installation? I could just ssh the lot to a Linux machine, but that's too much of a defeat...
Best,
Federico
