I'm having difficulty with vignettes under Mac OS X.
Take the partitions package as an example. According to the CRAN
package check page for partitions, this is clean under each
system, except for r-release-macosx-ix86
<http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html#r-release-macosx-ix86>
where the check gives
errors, for example:
"Running 'texi2dvi' on setpartitions.tex failed. "
Similar things happen to my other packages that include vignettes;
I can't build vignette packages under macosx either.
What's going on here?
Maybe _you_ could tell _us_? R-devel gives more informative
diagnostics than the above. However, 'partitions' checks out for me on
my Mac, so I've no idea what you are seeing. Surely a copy of your
logs is 'at a minimum' information.
BTW, there is no 'R-2.9.0'. If you mean 'R-devel (r47575)' or similar
please say so -- too much time has been wasted in the past dealing
with people using weeks-old versions of R-devel with issues that were
only present for a few hours.
