My first inclination, which I just noted Peter also referenced, would be to ensure that your build shell environment includes that directory in your $PATH. In an open console session (where you are going to build R), use: PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/texmf/bin export PATH and then try building to see what happens. Note that the above will be temporary and will be lost once you close that console session. I would check the system and user specific bashrc, .bashrc and .bash_profile files on the PCLinuxOS system to see if that directory is included in the $PATH on that system. There may be an idiosyncratic difference between the two linux distros.
