[R-pkg-devel] Unable to create manual

[Matthias Gondan]

That’s interesting. I was just wondering if it is installed, given the message „pdflatex is not available“.

Hello Matthias.

This is what is returned when I try pdflatex on terminal

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (MiKTeX 22.8.28) (preloaded format=pdflatex.fmt)
 restricted \write18 enabled.

You may wish to check first if pdflatex works from the folder, i.e.
 
C:\Users\edmon\Documents\R\RFIN> pdflatex
 
The problem with Rd.sty may be unrelated.

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

Hmm ... looks like a package

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

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.

==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
 
 
Thanks for your help,
