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 section):
... just telling us exactly which packages you have in mind would be
perfectly sufficient and more informative ;).
Short story: nothing to worry about - it should go away
Long story: We do build packages incrementally, i.e. a package is only
re-built if there is a new version (of the package or major R release)
or the package has failed make check previously (along the concept of
hope springs eternal). In the case of "partitions" it has last been
built 11/13/08 which was before some updates to the TeX system on the
check machine, so chances are that it wasn't happy with the TeX
present then. I have re-checked the package (partitions) today and the
NOTE went away. I'll check and see if any other packages are also
affected and re-check them, too.
Thanks,

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.
