[R] problem building R packages in windows xp

Dear R users,



I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the
instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the
TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said
that fpTeX has been discontinued. I have MikTeX in my computer, and I have
followed the recommendations in
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/miktex.html. I have followed the so
called Workaround 4.



After running R CMD Rd2txt and R CMD Rdconv without problems, I have a
problem when I run R CMD build <package>. It is always in the .chm file:



>>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'test'

Formats: text html latex example chm

riChisq                 text html latex example chm

hhc: not found

cp: cannot stat 'c:/temp/RPackageExample-19Jul05/test/chm/test.chm': No such
file or directory



I do not know if this error is due to the TeX version, or if I am doing any
other error. Does anybody have some idea?



Thank you in advance



Jordi
