Hi Paul,
I use executable codes of tex and latex from
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/tetex.html) and compile the
original R-1.9.1 source codes using C for AIX compiler V6.0 and Fortran
for AIX compiler 7.1.1 and generate 64 bit R environments. It works
well.

Right, sorry, that change also needed to be made.

This just looks like pdflatex is not installed properly. What happens
if (completely separate from R) you try to pdflatex a latex file?
