Brian: When I first tried an R CMD check (or it was probably an R CMD INSTALL --build) using R-2.14.0 on a Windows system with MiKTeX 2.8, MiKTeX went ahead and "automagically" installed the required components from a CTAN repository (which I had to select on the way). Do you mind sending me (off-list) your package so I can check it with my (very old Pentium III, Win XP) system? [I see you are running a 64-bit system.] Hope this helps, Ray Brownrigg ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
