[Rd] Miktex does not work with R CMD check

[Ulrike Grömping]

Uwe,

I think it must be some problem on my computer, it happens for all my 
packages in R CMD check. I don't use TeX for anything else (if I can 
avoid it), therefore it might be something stupid that a regular 
TeX-user would never think about. However, it can't be a completely 
wrong setup of MikTeX, since direct application of pdflatex to 
pkg-manual.tex works without problems.

Best regards,
Ulrike
