Hello:
1. How can I tell when the development version of Rtools has
changed?
I don't make announcements of the changes, you just need to check the
web site. There are online tools that can do this for you
automatically, but I don't know which one to recommend. Google suggests
lots of them.
For the past few years, I've installed the development version
of R tools with each new release of R. I encountered problems with this
a few days ago, so I rolled back to Rtools212.exe. Unfortunately, I
seem to have more problems with that version. My latest install was
under Windows 7 Home Edition. My previous problems were on Vista, but I
also have access to Fedora 13 Linux.
I know that Windows 7 64 bit has problems with Rtools. Brian Ripley has
had some luck using the tools (the bin directory) and Cygwin DLLs from
last summer, along with the current compilers. I'm reluctant to back
out the new versions, because I use Cygwin for other things (including
OpenSSH) and don't want to get locked out of updates.
I haven't heard of problems with other Windows 7 versions, but I haven't
tried them.
2. "R CMD check" ends with the following:
* checking examples ... OK
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
* checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR
Re-running with no redirection of stdout/stderr.
Hmm ... looks like a package
Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, :
unable to run 'pdflatex' on 'Rd2.tex'
Error in running tools::texi2dvi
You may want to clean up by 'rm -rf
C:/Users/sgraves/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmpr6z3
r6/Rd2pdf55b96c9a'
This is using Rtools213, downloaded April 4 from
"www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools" with R installed as follows:

Do you have pdflatex? It's not part of Rtools, it's part of LaTeX, as
described in Rtools.txt.
