It is Stangle, not Sweave that is causing the problem and I am just running

R CMD INSTALL -c $RCPP_SRC

As mentioned above, producing the PDF files is not the issue with the
INSTALL process but nonetheless I am glad to receive that information.
 I am able to build the PDF files for Rcpp-sugar but not for Rcpp-FAQ,
Rcpp-extending and Rcpp-package.  The logs from those attempts look
like this

$ make Rcpp-extending.pdf
rm Rcpp-extending.Rnw
cp -f Rcpp-extending/Rcpp-extending.Rnw .
Rscript -e "require(highlight); driver <- HighlightWeaveLatex(boxes =
TRUE, bg = 'white' ); Sweave( 'Rcpp-extending.Rnw', driver = driver );
"

Is there something in the highlight package that should install a
highlight script in $RHOME/bin?  If so I can reinstall the package as
root.
