Dear list, I am trying to produce a pdf manual using Rtools (version 3.1.0.1936) on Windows 8 (64-bit). I am also aware of the inconsolata issue posted in the forum (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2013-June/066850.html), and then I have installed the patched version of R-3.0.1. However I still have some errors with the following message: R CMD Rd2pdf mypack Hmm ... looks like a package

Hi, The following command: R CMD Rd2pdf --no-preview --output=./tmp.pdf --title=test genefu-package.Rd run against this file: https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/genefu/man/genefu-package.Rd (username: readonly; password: readonly) produces a very verbose error (see below) with R version 2.15.0 alpha (2012-03-07 r58622). The .Rd file has these lines in it: Version: \tab

Hi, Due to a change in Rd.sty a few days ago (https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/620eb9a#diff-3bf3d821c6faae50cd6ec931f6f63296L272), the default installation of TeXLive 2009 or 2012 no longer works when building Rd to PDF. The error log is like this: =============== Converting Rd files to LaTeX ..... Creating pdf output from LaTeX ... Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean,

Simple question but searching rseek did not yield the results I wanted. Question: Is there a way to open a help manual for a package from within R. For instance I would like to type a function in r for the tm package and R would open that PDF as seen here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/tm.pdf -The vignette function exists for vignettes [vignette("package.name")] so I

On the local machine the command R11 CMD Rd2pdf survfit.Rd works fine. R12 CMD Rd2pdf survfit.Rd fails with the message below. Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... survfit.Rd Creating pdf output from LaTeX ... Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, : Running 'texi2dvi' on 'Rd2.tex' failed.

the inconsolata miktex package (inconsolata-zi4 in CTAN) which contains the font of the same name was recently updated. It now contains the file zi4.sty instead of inconsolata.sty. When I was building an R package, the help(or vignette) file pdf couldn't built , because R couldn't find inconsolata.sty. Any suggestions for a workaround? Could someone file a bug report, if appropriate? ( I

Hello: What do you suggest I do to overcome "LaTeX Error: File 'inconsolata.sty' not found", which I got running "R CMD check" on a package using Rtools I downloaded yesterday? I found a similar question to R-Help Nov. 3 (URL below), but I've not yet had success in replicating the solution outlined there. I tried several different sets of

I have just installed R version 2.14.0 and tried to re-build and re-check some of the packages that I maintain. I'm getting a warning (in the process of running R CMD check on my "deldir" package): > * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING > LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. > This typically indicates Rd problems. > LaTeX errors found: > ! Font

Hello everybody I'm am trying to build a pdf out of the Rd files that i wrote for a package, so that I can attach it to my thesis. if i Run Rd2pdf (or Rd2dvi) I get this error massage: Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX . Creating pdf output from LaTeX ... Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, : Running

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The

Hi, While using R CMD check I get the following Latex error message which occurs when creating PDF version of manual: LaTex error: File `inconsolata.sty' not found I am using Windows 7 (64-bit) and R 3.0.1. I have MikTex 2.9. I see that the incosolata.sty is present under \doc\fonts folder. How can I eliminate this problem? Thanks, Ravi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Peter, Duncan & Bert, Thank you kindly for the responses. Indeed, doc/NEWS.pdf is included in the source distribution, and then removed upon "make clean". I thought that it might be useful to report this for your benefit, but on closer inspection it appears that I'm getting errors that arise due to incompatibilities in my texlive and texinfo installations. This is the error

Some while ago I posted a problem on this list concerning a failure of R CMD check on one of my packages that resulted from LaTeX being unable to find the "inconsolata" font. This was under the Ubuntu OS. This was solved, thanks to advice I got from this list, basically by doing sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra I am now (for reasons which I won't go into) running

Dear friends of R, I want to produce a pdf file with the contents of a matrix. I employ the latex command in combination with dvi, both contained in the Hmisc package. It seems to me that the function does not correctly set the directory. > tbl.loc <- matrix(1:4, nc=2) > latex.obj <- latex(tbl.loc) > dvi(latex.obj) warning: extra args ignored after 'cd' H:\PROJECTS\data

I am trying to pass a additional argument to texi2dvi, for example to use the aux-directory. Looks like this is not possible via options: options(texi2dvi='texi2dvi --tex-option="-aux-directory=auxdir"') texi2dvi(file = "GBPL3.tex", pdf = TRUE) #Error in system(paste(shQuote(texi2dvi), "--version"), intern = TRUE) : # '"texi2dvi

We use the inconsolata LaTeX package by default for monospaced text in R PDF manuals, including package reference manuals (so needed to R CMD check). You might find inconsolata.sty suddenly disappearing from your system: it happened to me with a MiKTeX update earlier this week. OTOH, TeXLive 2013 and MacTeX 2013, released on Tuesday, still have it. But I suspect a TeXLive update may change

Greeting R Community, I am a windows user so this problem may be specific to windows. I often want to source files from within R such as: C:\Users\Rinker\Desktop\Research & Law\Data\School Data 09-10. To source this file I need to go through the path and replace all the backslashes (\) with forward slashes (/). I usually do this in MS Word using the replace option, however, I'd like

Hi all, Sorry if I seem a bit pissed because I am!
