One thing I noticed is the '2007' in there. Fedora also is stuck at
TexLive 2007 but that is getting old and some CRAN packages do not
work with it (and conversely some do despite errors in vignettes that
are uncoverd in TeXlive 2009).
So this may not apply to Erin, but developers are advised to use
TexLive 2009 (or the similar MiKTeX 2.8 on Windows) and update it
regularly (hyperref updates have broken R documentation builds a few
times over the last 6 months).

Dear R People:
I'm building a packages on an Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 system and am
getting the following errors:
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
LaTeX errors found:
! Font T1/ptm/m/n/10=ptmr8t at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found
...
When I run on another system, it runs fine. Has anyone run into this
lately, please?
I got the pdflatex via sudo apt-get install pdflatex.
I can't see a pdflatex package on my Karmic Koala:
# apt-get install pdflatex
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package pdflatex
so unless you're getting it from another repository... I suspect you
did something else, probably got it from the texlive-latex-base
package...
# dpkg-query -S `which pdflatex`
texlive-latex-base: /usr/bin/pdflatex
Hmmm. Anyway, there's a bunch of font-related packages in there and
maybe you missed one or two. Here's the packages that match 'texlive'
and those that match 'tex' and 'font' on my system:
# dpkg-query -W | grep texlive
texlive 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-base 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-base-bin 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1
texlive-common 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-doc-base 2007.dfsg.2-2
texlive-extra-utils 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1
texlive-font-utils 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1
texlive-fonts-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-generic-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-latex-base 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-latex-extra 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1
texlive-latex-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-math-extra 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1
texlive-pictures 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
texlive-pstricks 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1
texlive-science 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1
# dpkg-query -W | grep tex| grep font
latex-xft-fonts 0.1-8
texlive-font-utils 2007.dfsg.2-7ubuntu1
texlive-fonts-recommended 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1
I've not seen any problems with PDF creation on the packages I've
built, but maybe I'd have the same trouble. Anyway, above should help
you see if your latex installation is comparable to mine or to any
other install!
