Re: [R] Building R-4,3,3 fails

But let's skip this step. Here's reshape.tex from R-4.3.3: https://0x0.st/XidU.tex/reshape.tex (Feel free to inspect the plain text before running LaTeX on it. TeX has primitives that may execute arbitrary commands.) If you run texi2pdf -V reshape.tex on your system, does it break in a similar manner? What about pdflatex reshape.tex? Will do. Busy this week, probably get back to this on the weekend.

The build system then uses this freshly compiled R to run Sweave on the vignettes. Let me break the build in a similar manner and see what happens: Ivan, The R.SlackBuild script does not install a package unless the build compeletes with exit code 0. Because building the vignettes failed it exited with a non-0 exit code and is not installed. This is standard SlackBuilds.org practice for non-core packages. I could send you the build script off the mail list, but like all linux distros each has a reason for building packages as they do.

Find the reshape.Rnw file and try running bin/R CMD Sweave path/to/reshape.Rnw. It should produce reshape.tex. When you run pdflatex reshape.tex, do you get a more useful error message? The error occurs when building R. Since R's not installed I cannot run it to build reshape.tex.

Since you're compiling a released version of R and we don't have an R-SIG-Slackware mailing list, R-help sounds like the right place. Ivan, Okay: What are the last lines of the build log, containing the error message?
