Dear List,
one of my packages, rasciidoc (a simple wrapper to 'knitr' and 'asciidoc'),
includes a minimal vigentte engine.
When submitting the package with a vignette using that engine, the vignette is
re-built on all platforms except for r-patched-solaris-x86:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_rasciidoc.html
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-patched-solaris-x86/rasciidoc-00check.html
Maybe rasciidoc's vignette engine is somewhat superfluous, but since it works
for all platforms except solaris, I kind of would like to use it.
I cannot reproduce the error using rhub:

And I happen to have no solaris box at hand for testing.
Does anybody have any suggestion on how I could tackle this?
The error message says: "Can't find program `source-highlight`. Please
install first (http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/)." You have
listed this in SystemRequirements as "recommended", but even if you had
listed it as required, your build shouldn't fail if it is not found: it
should test for that program, and continue on if it is not there. For
example, it could output a vignette containing nothing except the
warning message that source-highlight is needed to build the vignette.
This is described in Section 1.6, "Writing portable packages", of
Writing R Extensions.
