[R-pkg-devel] Unable to create manual

[Edward Wei]

This is the following error message I get from R CMD check:

LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
* checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR
Re-running with no redirection of stdout/stderr.
Hmm ... looks like a package
Converting parsed Rd's to LaTeX ...
Creating pdf output from LaTeX ...
Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet,  :
  pdflatex is not available
Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet,  :
  pdflatex is not available
Error in running tools::texi2pdf()

C:/Users/edmon/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpWkD7Iy/Rd2pdf35d81e3e188c'
* DONE

Status: 1 ERROR, 1 WARNING, 2 NOTEs


Then, I tried debugging by isolating errors from the Rd to PDF conversion.


C:\Users\edmon\Documents\R\RFIN> R CMD Rd2pdf avfintools --no-clean
Hmm ... looks like a package

In this folder is the file Rd2.tex which I tried to complie into a pdf. But
this error returns and PDF cannot be compiled. :


LaTeX Error: File `Rd.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:
! Emergency stop.
<read *>
