R devel - Jul 2008 - Checking package vignettes: WARNING

Hi,

I want to have a "vignette" in one of my R packages. Hence, I added an
Sweave
file into the /inst/doc subdirectory of this package. Unfortunately, 'R CMD 
check' gives a warning:

=========================================[...]
* checking tests ... OK
* checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ... WARNING
--- f?hre texi2dvi auf Vignetten aus
* creating sampleSelection-manual.tex ... OK
* checking sampleSelection-manual.tex using pdflatex ... OK

WARNING: There was 1 warning, see
 
/home/suapm095/Documents/Econometrics/R/micEcon/micEcon/sampleSelection.Rcheck/00check.log
for details
=========================================
Since the line below "WARNING" is in German, I ran
'LC_ALL="C" R CMD check'
to get an English message (which I could use in a Google search). However, the 
warning does NOT occur if I run 'R CMD check' in the 'C' locale.
I tried a
lot of different things and I figured out that 'f?hre texi2dvi auf Vignetten
aus' is the translation of 'running texi2dvi on vignettes', but I
did not
find the reason for the warning message that occurs if 'R CMD check' is
run
in the German locale. If I run Sweave and texi2dvi by hand with both locales, 
the only possibly relevant difference I noticed is that Sweave uses straight 
single quotation marks in the 'C' locale but (italicized) primes in the 
German locale:

'C' locale:
   Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05
'.' 0.1 ' ' 1

German locale:
   Signif. codes:  0 ?***? 0.001 ?**? 0.01 ?*? 0.05 ?.? 0.1 ? ? 1 

System Information:
R 2.7.1
i486-pc-linux-gnu
Kubuntu 8.04 

Any hints are welcome!
Thanks,
Arne

Hello Arne,

I do not know if this matters, but have you used 'results = verbatim' in
your R code chunk? See page 13 in:
http://www.statistik.lmu.de/~leisch/Sweave/Sweave-manual.pdf

Best,
Bernhard
