Hi, Josh:

Have you had a recent version that passed "R CMD check"? If yes, I suggest you save your recent changes then revert to that earlier version and add your recent changes back in again one at a time. I've done that many times. (It's also a major reason I make changes as small as I can and run "R CMD check" after each one. Then if I get something like this I can't figure out, there aren't many changes to scan through to find the problem.)


      Hope this helps.
      Spencer

R CMD check is R code: you can run the R code for yourself using R's
debugging facilities.  In this case start with 'R CMD Rd2pdf pkg-name'
(which should give the same error, as that is what R CMD check calls),
then run that R code directly (there are comments in the code in
R-devel about how to do so).

Hi All,

Apologies if this is a very naive question.  Is there a way to see the
particular Rd file being processed right before a warning/error
occurs?  As far as I can tell, all my .Rd files use have names and
titles and they are unique between Rd files (sometimes in a file I use
something like \name{foo} \title{Foo}).  I seem to be able to convert
files to latex using: R CMD Rdconv --type=latex on all my Rd files
without problems.

Here is the warning and error:

* checking PDF version of manual ... ERROR
Rd conversion errors:
Warning in file(con, "r") :
 file("") only supports open = "w+" and open = "w+b": using the former
Error : : Sections \title, and \name must exist and be unique in Rd
files

I am using:

R Under development (unstable) (2011-10-11 r57214)
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
on Windows 7 with Rtools 2.14 and MikTeX 2.9

Any suggestions or pointers to manuals/documentation would be greatly
appreciated.

This is far too rare a problem to be documented in detail.

Thanks,

Josh
