[R] Help With Sweave:

Hi All,

I am running Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) on a Thinkpad T41. I've installed
the nowebm package for Ubuntu. Working from this HowTo:
http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/example-1.Snw
I try to compile the example *.Snw as in the Sweave manual:

mdj at lapmdj:~/Desktop/Sweave/example1$ noweb example-1.Snw
Can't open output file

Despite the error, a *.tex file is produced. Now I am stuck because I
cannot seem to get the CTAN noweb package correctly installed  for my
Latex installation. I guess I am somewhat spoiled by the Synaptic
package manager. Here is the result of my best attempt to get the
noweb package installed:

Following the guidelines for installing packages found here:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/beginlatex/html/chapter5.html#pk...

I try to install this package:

http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=noweb

But there are no *.ins or *.dtx files. There is a *.sty though...

I follow the instructions in the readme and this is the result (Here
are a few of the errors, the complete output is below):
make: [install-shell] Error 1 (ignored)
make: [install-tex] Error 1 (ignored)
make: [install-code] Error 1 (ignored)

A bunch of errors. What am I doing wrong? Any help is much
appreciated!

Of course, if there is a better place for me to ask this question
please let me know where! Thanks!

Matt

I thought that 'sudo texhash' would fix the installation error...but
apparently it did not because:

#Which apparently means that the noweb package has not yet been
installed correctly. What is going wrong?

Since relatively recently, a 'Sweave' command has been added.  So simply
do

	$ R CMD Sweave example-1.Snw 
	$ pdflatex example-1.tex
	$ kpdf example-1.pdf		# or xpdf, or gv, or ...

You simply make your life too complicated when Debian and Ubuntu make it
easier for you :)

The r-sig-debian list is appropriate for problems with Debian / Ubuntu.

PS  I usually use simple shell wrappers like this one. Others prefer
Makefile.
