[R] How to build and check an package on a system without tex latex?

[Witold E Wolski]

This is what I tried:
R CMD check $(PKGNAME)_$(PKGVERS).tar.gz --no-manual --no-rebuild-vignettes
R CMD build --no-manual --no-rebuild-vignettes $(PKGSRC)

But still somehow the R CMD build attempts to build the vignettes (OK
with me), but also run
texi2dvi on them producing the error message below:


Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet,  :
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'AExample2.tex' failed.
Messages:
