R_LATEXCMD is defined in R_HOME/etc/Renviron (sourced by R CMD), and

On a sub-architecture build such as the CRAN MacOS distribution
that will
be R_HOME/etc/<arch>/Renviron, and on that distribution it is
defined as
'false'. So you do need to define to a proper value in your
environment,
e.g. put R_LATEXCMD=latex in your ~/.Renviron file.
Thanks Brian. Tried that just now --- and of course it didn't work.
(*Nothing* ever works for me! :-( ) In more detail --- I found that
I didn't *have* a .Renviron file. So I created one, with the single
line
R_LATEXCMD=latex
But I got the same error situation as before. Is there any other
action
I need to take to get the system to notice my ~/.Renviron file?
Oops, sorry, R CMD does not read ~/.Renviron. You need to set
R_LATEXCMD=latex in the shell you use to run 'R CMD Rd2dvi'.
Bingo! That worked. Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf
