R devel - May 2003 - Possible R CMD check problem (PR#3070)

Using R 1.7.0 I get 
* checking parcv-manual.tex ... ERROR
Could not create DVI version.

Although there is no apparent error.  The dvi file exists.
Possibly there is some problem with my TeX setup, but the following
messages don't suggest that either.

Here's the full log, which does show some documentation issues:
sheep:~$R CMD check --library=.R/library/ src/parcv
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory '/space/home/ross/parcv.Rcheck'
* checking for file 'parcv/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... OK

* Installing *source* package 'parcv' ...
** R

These tags are required in an Rd file.
See chapter 'Writing R documentation' in manual 'Writing R
Extensions'.

* checking for code/documentation mismatches ... OK
* checking for undocumented arguments in \usage ... OK
* creating parcv-Ex.R ... OK
* checking examples ... OK
* creating parcv-manual.tex ... OK
* checking parcv-manual.tex ... ERROR
Could not create DVI version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.

Why do you think there is a bug in R rather than in your package? (I
assume that it is a package of yours, at least it's not on CRAN).

How should we be able to track this problem for you? You don't specify
your computing platform and give us no examples we could try to
reproduce.

Does running latex on parcv-manual.tex in a shell work?
