[R-pkg-devel] R package manual failing only on R-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc

[Gábor Csárdi]

You can build the PDF manual locally with

R CMD Rd2pdf --no-clean .

and then look at line 186 in the poppr-manual.tex file to see where
there error is coming from.
You can also try R-hub's windows builder, to see if you can reproduce it there.
