Michael,
CRAN R comes configured with MacTeX, see also
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2009-April/006129.html
One of the problems is that PATH settings on OS X differ between LS-
started apps, shells etc., so it is in general problematic to get the
path right in all circumstances, so currently the CRAN binary assumes
the most common distribution.
Cheers,
Simon

Dear R-Sig-Mac,
Regarding Ji-Ping's problem I experienced a similar issue after having
upgraded to 2.9.0 on my Mac. The checking of the PDF manual causes
warnings and the following check of PDF version without index causes
an
error.
$ tail -n 4 00check.log
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
* checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR
The interesting part is that when uploading the <package>.tar.gz
file to
Uwe Ligges win-builder website, the package compiles without
warnings or
errors on Windows.
Furthermore, the document compiles without any errors when manually
compiling the resulting <package>-manual.pdf in the ..Rcheck folder
with
pdflatex.
However, when trying to generate the manual with:
$ R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf .
Hmm ... looks like a package
Converting Rd files to LaTeX ...
<snip>
Creating pdf output from LaTeX ...
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/Rd2dvi: line 228:
/usr/texbin/pdflatex: No such file or directory
Error in running pdflatex command ('/usr/texbin/pdflatex')
It appears as if the new 2.9.0 searches for pdflatex in
/usr/texbin/pdflatex
however, my pdflatex is located in e.g.
$ which pdflatex
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex
When setting up a symlink to /usr/texbin R CMD check worked fine. So
the
problem appears to have to do with R looking for pdflatex in the
"wrong"
place?
Best regards,
Michael
P.S. For the record:
$ which pdflatex
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex
$ latex --version
