RcppArmadillo on Solaris

[kbose28]

My package that uses RcppArmadillo fails on Solaris with the the following error. The package passes on ubuntu, mac and win_build(release and devel). Thank you for your time.

• checking package dependencies ... ERROR
  Package required but not available: ‘RcppArmadillo’

Packages suggested but not available: ‘knitr’ ‘rmarkdown’

VignetteBuilder package required for checking but not installed: ‘knitr’

The suggested packages are required for a complete check.
Checking can be attempted without them by setting the environment
variable R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS to a false value.

See section ‘The DESCRIPTION file’ in the ‘Writing R Extensions’
manual.

I have a very similar error but with Rcpp, c.f. https://builder.r-hub.io/status/swephR_0.1.0.tar.gz-3b64c66e872c7b3e44153cc6148320eb and rstub/swephR#34.

Works fine now. For the record, it is not essential to check your vignettes on Solaris. LaTeX vignettes will probably work, but the ones that need pandoc will not, because there is no pandoc for Solaris.
