I'm getting the exact same error as shown here (Last updated on 2019-08-29 02:49:05 CEST): http://cran.utstat.utoronto.ca/web/checks/check_results_Rcpp.html

I tried reinstalling my TeXLive distribution on Ubuntu using tinytex but that didn't work. I'm not really sure how to provide a reproducible example with a reproducible environment for this issue.

I work on Ubuntu (and Debian) and have for a decade (and almost 2 1/2) . (On both tinytex does not work for me, was never needed, and just gets in the way. I wish rmarkdown and knitr allowed to not have it.).

And as author of pinp it obviously works for me. You are probably "just" lacking some of the in-distro packages of texlive. I recommend studying the error message for 'missing file' messages and going to packages.ubuntu.com to search for which package has them.

As a shortcut, it looks like pgf is missing and I seem to have that from texlive-pictures:

edd@rob:~$ grep -l  "/pgf/" /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-*list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-pictures-doc.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-pictures.list
edd@rob:~$

Ok thanks for the quick reply. I got it to work. For those that might encounter the same problem these are the steps I took to fix it:

  1. Uninstall tinytex with tinytex::uninstall_tinytex()
  2. Delete texlive
  3. Re-install texlive using aptitude: aptitude install texlive-full
  4. Install texlive-science: aptitude install texlive-science

Nice. I'll close this then.

I think tinytex, while useless to you and me, will still creep back in as a Depends of rmarkdown or knitr.
