[R-SIG-Mac] R CMD check / texi2dvi issues

[Robin Hankin]

Dear List

MacOSX 10.5.5
R-2.8.1 / R-2.9.0

I'm having difficulty  with vignettes under  Mac OS X.

Take the partitions package as an example.  According to the CRAN
package check page for partitions, this is clean under each
system, except for r-release-macosx-ix86 
<http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html#r-release-macosx-ix86>  
where the  check gives
errors, for example:

"Running 'texi2dvi' on setpartitions.tex failed. "

Similar things happen to my other packages that include vignettes;
I can't build vignette packages under macosx either.

What's going on here?
