[R] Rd.sty problems.

[Federico Calboli]

Hi All,

I am trying to build a new R package to submit, but it's failing to
create a tex manual:

This typically indicates Rd problems.


I cheked the log file in the .Rcheck dir, but it's incomprehensible to
me, so I simply copied and run the tex file itself. The manual won't
compile lamenting it cannot find the Rd.sty file.

locate Rd.sty gives:
/usr/lib/R/share/texmf/Rd.sty

I am completely lost... any advice? do I have to change some path? I am
using R for Debian from  the latest .deb files for Sarge on x86 arch.
