Simon,
both are entirely irrelevant - run

in R - that is the only thing that counts. If it shows an error,
then you don't have pdflatex on your PATH which would be the
problem. As a side note, you are showing two separate TeX packages
which may not help you to find out what breaks in your setup in
general ...
thanks for the hint. Unfortunately:
system("pdflatex --version")
/bin/sh: pdflatex: command not found
doing a simple
PATH=$PATH:/user/texbin
fixed it if I use R and package.skeleton() from the terminal. If I
use the R gui (from the standard R 2.13.0 CRAN download) it still
does not find pdflatex and does not build a usable package skeleton.
In any case, your hit solved my issue. Now, how do I set the path
for the R gui?
When the answer to this is posted, I am wondering if it could be put
in the Mac R FAQ because it seems that I have read several questions
of late that involve users puzzling where to set various paths for
Finder, bash, and R that are stored in different places/environments.
It would be good not to need to search for a r-sig-mac posting but
rather refer to a "central document".
