It is not guaranteed that knitr vignettes will work for R < 3.0.x (even with the Makefile approach, which was really a hack). Unless you must stay with R 2.15.x, you are strongly recommended to upgrade to R 3.0.x and forget about the Makefile approach. Then follow the three steps mentioned in http://yihui.name/knitr/demo/vignette/
If you still cannot work it out, please point us to the source of your package.
