But the R-devel log will be the informative one.

Dear List
MacOSX 10.5.5
R-2.8.1 / R-2.9.0
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.
Sorry, I intended the link above to point to the log. Below text is
cut-and-pasted
just now from the CRAN Package Check Results for Package partitions (mac

It's clean under the other architectures.
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.
