Duncan,
Thanks for the ideas. I checked them out and none seem to be the
culprit. My original message was wrong in one detail BTW, as I was
already using "graphicx" not graphics.
I switched over to the central server machine (CENTOS) to finish up
the coxme submission until I could figure this out. Ran CMD check,
tidied up the NAMESPACE, DESCRIPTION, NEWS files, fixed a missing $ sign
in an Rnw, etc. Submitted the final to CRAN, then updated all the files
on the Linux box from which the error below came -- both boxes point to
the same Mercurial master --- and then tried again.
Now it works! And I have no idea what could have prompted the
change. It will remain a mystery, since I'm not going to try to bring
the error back. :-)

I'm having a problem rebuilding a package, new to me in R 2.15.0
(Linux) It hits all that contain the line
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphics}
and leads to the following when running R CMD check on the directory.
(I do this often; a final run on the tar.gz file will happen before
submission.)
Since I float and resize my figures, removing the line is fatal in other
ways.

The resulting .tex file work just fine with pdflatex, however. I
haven't found any reference to this elsewhere, but my guess is that it
is something simple that I've missed.
Do you have an explicit \usepackage{Sweave} in your file? If not,
Sweave will add one, and that might explain the difference between
your two tests.
Another possibility is that you have a copy of Sweave.sty that is not
the same as the one being used in one run or the other. The checks
will try to tell pdflatex to use the one that comes with your R
version, but other local ones can sometimes have higher precedence in
pdflatex.
And one idea what the problem might be: Sweave.sty uses the graphicx
package, and it may conflict with the graphics package.
