R devel - Apr 2010 - Miktex does not work with R CMD check

Dear DevelopeRs,

the issue I am stuck with (I am on Windows, R-2.11): My Miktex (version 
2.8) does not work with R CMD check, although Miktex on its own can 
pdflatex the tex-file in the Rcheck directory. (This issue has been 
going on for a while, and now, after having updated to R-2.11, I finally 
want to get it fixed.) Although I have found several similar posts, none 
of the answers appears to solve my problem, which seems to be 
path-related. In case it is relevant: in the past, I did have issues 
with paths to "my documents" because these contain a German Umlaut on
my
computer, which is why I moved all R packages to the directory c:/rtests.

I would appreciate any help on this issue. The relevant portion of R CMD 
check and the content of Rdlatex.log are included below.

Best regards,
Ulrike

The end of the R CMD check output looks like this:

* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
* checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR
LaTeX error when running command:
  Rcmd.exe Rd2dvi --batch --no-preview --pdf
    --build-dir=C:/WINDOWS/Temp/Rd2dvi611638299 --no-clean --no-index -o
    DoE.base-manual.pdf >/dev/null 2>&1
C:/rtests/DoE.base.Rcheck/DoE.base
Re-running with no redirection of stdout/stderr.

The file Rdlatex.log contains the following text:

Hmm ... looks like a package
latex.exe: A required file system path could not be retrieved.
latex.exe: Data: 28
Creating pdf output from LaTeX ...
pdflatex.exe: A required file system path could not be retrieved.
pdflatex.exe: Data: 28
Error in running pdflatex command ('pdflatex')
You may want to clean up by 'rm -rf C:/WINDOWS/Temp/Rd2dvi611638299'

Ulrike,

I just upgraded to the full MikTeX 2.8 distribution from today (still on 
2.7 before) and checking my tuneR package worked fine.
Hence  Which package are you referring to?

Best wishes,
Uwe
