I had some problem when building package: for exemple when building the package e1071 available from CRAN, I get the following message error:

works for me
The system I use is: R2.0.1 under Debian Linux (testing) with kernel 2.6.9-1-686
The pdflatex version is: pdfeTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 kpathsea version 3.4.5 Copyright (C) 1997-2003 The NTS Team (eTeX)/Han The Thanh (pdfTeX).

I attached the log file svmdoc.log.
That did not come true. But my guess is that running LaTeX is what fails (and that the problem is neither in R nor in the Per script).
From looking briefly at svmdoc.Rnw, it has a\usepackage{Sweave} so it expects that Sweave.sty is somewhere in your search path. Is that the case?
Furthermore, the R code in vignettes should always run, but compiling the resulting .tex file just has to work at build time. So there are vignettes (at least in my packages) that depend on local sty/bib/bst files not included in the package and thus cannot be (easily) compiled by other people. Z
Philippe is right. I have seen the log file and it causes the problem. It was me who suggested to write to r-devel. The relevant lines in the log file were:
Except there is no error in those lines!

Note, this is a very modern version of pdf*e*TeX! I don't know whether R is supposed to support it. If so, this is a bug.
Well as I understand it for 1.10b (not at all very modern), pdflatex is supposed to be built from pdftex: it is with the current 1.20b that pdfetex is used. As I got a TeTeX upgrade this very morning and mine does run R CMD check e1071, I think the problem may well be in Philippe's setup.
gannet% pdflatex --version pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b kpathsea version 3.4.5 ... gannet% pdfelatex --version pdfeTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 kpathsea version 3.4.5
Perhaps if we get to see the error message we might know what is going on. Meanwhile I suggest using the current teTeX.
