[R] Rd problems when converting DVI version

[michael watson (IAH-C)]

Hi

Running R v2.0 on SuSe linux 8.2.

I'm trying to build a package (which built perfectly on Windows...) on
Linux, and I ran:

R CMD check mypackage

I got:

* checking mypackage-maual.tex ... ERROR
LaTeX errors when creating DVI version
This typically indicates Rd problems

OK, there are no problems with my Rd - I got 3 warnings but they were
all expected, and the whole package builds find on windows.  There is no
indication which of my Rd files is upsetting LaTeX and no information
about what it is about the Rd that is the problem.

I have in my notes that I used to use:

R CMD R2dvi

But that now returns an error saying R2dvi is not found... Did this
change when upgrading to v2?  Or are my notes wrong?

So any help getting to the root of this error would be very much
appreciated.

Cheers
Mick
