Hello. R-devel, r61697.
I am having difficulty interpreting section 1.4 "Writing package
vignettes" of the R-exts manual. Specifically, I want to use
system.file() in some of my packages to locate a bib file,
uncertainty.bib, which is part of the emulator package. I only want
to maintain a single .bib file.
R-exts says: "All other files needed to re-make the vignette PDFs
(such as ... BiBTeX input files) must in the vignette source
directory". So I've put my Rnw file and also the bib file in
emulator/vignettes/ directory.
And indeed, following R CMD build and then R CMD INSTALL on the
tarball, I can see the Rnw file:
> system.file("doc","emulex.Rnw",package="emulator")
[1] "/home/rksh/Rd/lib64/R/library/emulator/doc/emulex.Rnw"
>
so I know system.file() works as desired. But I can't find
uncertainty.bib as R CMD INSTALL does not copy it to the system:
> system.file("doc","uncertainty.bib",package="emulator")
[1] ""
>
So I can't retrieve uncertainty.bib and this means that several other
packages can't bibtex correctly. Can anyone advise?
