Hi, I uncovered a bug in installing R 3.4.0 from source in Linux, following the standard procedure (configure; make; make install). Is this an appropriate place to report this bug? If not, can you please direct me to the appropriate place?
The error occurs only when I do "make clean" followed by "make" again; make works the first time. The error is a failure to build NEWS.pdf: Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, : pdflatex is not available Calls: <Anonymous> -> texi2pdf -> texi2dvi Execution halted make[1]: *** [NEWS.pdf] Error 1 make: [docs] Error 2 (ignored) and can be reproduced wit the following sequence: ./configure make make clean make This suggests to me that perhaps "make clean" is not working. I'm happy to provide more details so that you are able to reproduce the bug.
