[Rd] possible Sweave problem in rdevel build on Debian 6.0.8?
Dear R-Devel, Note: I posted a similar message to R-sig-debian yesterday because I assumed it was a Debian issue, received response that it it may be more appropriate for r-devel since it involves building from the svn version. As of Oct 21, we are running into a build failure when trying to compile the development version of R from the svn repository. The problem still persists as of Revision:64096: We are running: ./configure && make -j4 distclean && ./configure && make -j4 [lots of normal compile output not shown...] building/updating vignettes for package 'utils' ... processing 'Sweave.Rnw' Error: running Sweave on vignette '/net/home/rpackagebuilder/src/R.trunk/src/library/utils/vignettes/Sweave.Rnw' failed with message: <text>:1:1: unexpected '|' 1: | ^ Execution halted make[1]: *** [vignettes-lattice] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/net/home/rpackagebuilder/src/R.trunk/src/library' make: *** [vignettes] Error 2 The same vignette compiles without error on the same machine using the stable release version of R (which we also build from source with same commands). Dirk reported yesterday that he was unable to reproduce the problem on r-devel svn "..Using Ubuntu 13.04, current" Does anyone have suggestions on how I might debug this further to determine if this is an issue with Sweave, or something with our system configuration which would impact one build and not the other? When I diff the files in utils I see quite a few changes to Sweave between the stable and devel branches, but I'm not sure how to interpret them. thanks for your help, -skye

Please try again: I could reproduce this on one system prior to r64100.
