[R-pkg-devel] Unable to create manual

[Edward Wei]

My next steps in debugging this is:
1. make sure my latex CAN generate PDFs by editing .tex file
2. Run pdflatex as an Admin
3. Download "texinfo" externally (unable to do in R studio as it says it is
incompatible with this version of R)
4. Inspect Rd files

I have made no real progress on this bug...

What is interesting is that previously, before I changed my code for
feedback from manual review, this didn't happen.
