[R] Problems with PDF/Latex when building a package

[Erin Hodgess]

Dear R People:

I'm building a packages on an Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 system and am
getting the following errors:


* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.

* checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR
erin at ubuntu:~$


When I run on another system, it runs fine.  Has anyone run into this
lately, please?

I got the pdflatex via sudo apt-get install pdflatex.

Thanks,
Erin
