Rd.sty is a style file provided by R to handle some of the macros used 
in help pages.  You can have R tell pdflatex where to find it by using

R CMD texify --pdf package.tex

Alternatively, if your package is in directory "package", you can do

R CMD Rd2pdf package

and it will produce the .tex and texify it all in one step.   I believe 
both will leave the log file for you to examine if there's an error, but 
you can force that using the "--no-clean" command line option.
