[R-pkg-devel] checking PDF version of manual

[Uwe Ligges]

Eitehr the file is no longer there or corrupted, or the database that 
know about the file got corrupted.

For the former, re-instal the package, fr the latter, just go to MikTeX 
settings and run "refresh FNDB" and "Update Formats".

You can also upload the package to the winbuilder service to verify - it 
also uses MikTeX 2.9 ...


Best,
Uwe Ligges
