I recently submitted a package on CRAN. When I went to update the package, I
tried to do the check/build procedures on a system with Windows XP, using the
recommended R-tools available from Dr. Ripley (Rtools29).
Everything works fine in the check and build process except under Windows XP
the pdf manual is not generated? The check procedure does, in fact, check the
read files for correct syntax and required content and the manual passes "OK"
on the check procedure; however, when I look for the pdf manual it is not
created. This does not occur when I complete the check process under Windows
Vista?
I have tried installing post-script drivers, uninstalling/re-installing the
R-tools, updating the current release of R (i.e. 2.9.1), everything I can think
of, but the pdf manual is not generated under XP.
I would be very thankful if anyone could tell me if I have missed changing
something in a configuration file under windows XP that is not required under
windows Vista. I have check the path commands to ensure all tools are properly
listed and that any program that might be called during check is listed in the
path command file.
How do I get the pdf manual to print during the check process for creating a
new package under Windows XP, using the R-tools available for Windows?
Thank you all in advance for reading my post.
Sincerely,
Michael Gates
