Hello:
What should I do to diagnose and fix “pdflatex is not available” from
“R CMD check” on a Mac running OS X 10.10.1 (see below for more details
including sessionInfo.)?
A blog on "Building R packages: missing path to pdflatex”
(http://www.r-bloggers.com/building-r-packages-missing-path-to-pdflatex/
<http://www.r-bloggers.com/building-r-packages-missing-path-to-pdflatex/>)
suggested the following:
Sys.which("pdflatex”)
# ""
Sys.getenv("PATH")
# [1] "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin”
However, the suggested fix did not work for me.
1. How can I determine if pdflatex is installed?
2. If it is, how can I find it? If it’s not, what i the
recommended install procedure?
Thanks
Spencer Graves

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(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, :
pdflatex is not available
Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, :

You may want to clean up by 'rm -rf
