Please try

? ?sudo apt-get install highlight

Thanks. ?Once I have installed the Ubuntu package I can build the pdf files.

And I'm not sure why but building the PDF files for the vignettes
bypasses the problem with Stangle so not I am successful at installing

the latest Rcpp.

Thanks.

We do not pre-test for this as clearly as we maybe should. It is also 'just'
in the pdf-creation so we have not added it to SystemRequirements. Maybe we
should.

In short, 'highlight' has become overloaded as there is Romain's on CRAN and
Andre's in Debian and elsewhere. ?Some of Andre's code may end up in Romain's
R package at which point we may no longer require the external binary.
