Hi Running R v2.0 on SuSe linux 8.2. I'm trying to build a package (which built perfectly on Windows...) on Linux, and I ran: R CMD check mypackage I got: * checking mypackage-maual.tex ... ERROR LaTeX errors when creating DVI version This typically indicates Rd problems OK, there are no problems with my Rd - I got 3 warnings but they were all expected, and the whole package builds find on windows. There is no indication which of my Rd files is upsetting LaTeX and no information about what it is about the Rd that is the problem. I have in my notes that I used to use: R CMD R2dvi But that now returns an error saying R2dvi is not found... Did this change when upgrading to v2? Or are my notes wrong? So any help getting to the root of this error would be very much appreciated.
