I have been struggling to try many ways with old version of R tools,
MikTex, and R versions including R-patached and R-devel, os version
(windows 7 and 8), but no luck to pass R CMD check at all. It seems that
the missing inconsolata.sty is a key issue to bother so many R users,
especially for those R users without much experience of latex. Even I
renamed zi4.sty to inconsolata.sty, it did not work at all. I am wondering
if any experienced R tools developers can fix this issue. Thanks.

For reference, here is an example of a testing package with errors I had:
