Hi all,

I recently upgraded to lion, and now when checking packages I get:

* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
* checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR
Re-running with no redirection of stdout/stderr.
Hmm ... looks like a package
Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE,  :
  pdflatex is not available
Error in running tools::texi2dvi
You may want to clean up by 'rm -rf /tmp/RtmpBfIezv/Rd2pdf7957c6f4'

I've tried reinstalling mactex but no luck.  pdflatex is available on
the path and works when I run it by hand.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hadley
