You should install MikTeX, from www.miktex.org.  I think it will put 
itself on your path, but if it does not, you need to make sure the 
miktex/bin directory is on your path.

Once you have pdflatex available, you can run

R CMD Rd2pdf --no-clean <your pkg directory>

and it will likely give the same error, but will leave behind the files 
that caused the errors.  Take a look at line 575 (or whatever) of the 
.tex file, and you should be able to spot where it came from in your 
code.  Fix that if the problem is obvious, or show us.
