R cmd check Latex error: FATAL pdflatex - GUI framework cannot be initialized

问题

I am checking my package and this is actually the last remaining problem. The pdf file cannot be compiled and the logfile tells me

2015-10-15 14:17:47,430+0200 INFO  pdflatex - running 'initexmf --quiet --update-fndb' to refresh the file name database

Any idea where the problem could be?

回答1:

This is known problem wit MikTex 2.9 when pdflatex encounters error

GUI framework cannot be initialized.

(found on my Windows 7 system in the file ~\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log)

So far, I can offer following sequence of actions to remedy this:

In Windows Command prompt go to MiKTeX bin folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin) and run utility mo.exe;
In General tab change 'Install missing packages on-the-fly:' option to No (this will disable GUI and error above won't be happening again);
Run R CMD that calls latex converter again (in my case
```
R CMD Rd2pdf man/
```

again to see new errors;

This time miktex won't complaint about GUI - instead it will be missing packages with error like this
```
! LaTeX Error: File `inconsolata.sty' not found.
```
Start MiKTeX package manager (again from mo.exe Packages tab) and install missing package one at the time by repeating steps 3.-5.

This might be not most effective way of fixing this so I appreciate corrections or alternative solutions.
