I am checking a package with R CMD check and everything is fine until
the pdf portion of the checking process and the errors documented at
the end of this message happen.  I have looked at the pdf that is
created and the typesetting is not perfect, but it is acceptable
(readable).  I am no good at latex (something I plan to remedy in the
next large paper I have to write), so is this acceptable for CRAN.  I
have not changed the files and this error message did not show up
until I upgraded to 2.8.1 .  Any help would be appreciated.

Mac OS X 10.5.6
R 2.8.1

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
