[R-SIG-Mac] building a package on a Mac: pdflatex

[Simon Urbanek]

Federico,

both are entirely irrelevant - run
system("pdflatex --version")
in R - that is the only thing that counts. If it shows an error, then you don't have pdflatex on your PATH which would be the problem. As a side note, you are showing two separate TeX packages which may not help you to find out what breaks in your setup in general ...

Cheers,
Simon
