Hi all, I know from googling that this is a common problem; I've just tried what I understand to be the common solutions to know avail -- maybe I'm just confused. I installed Miktex 2.8 -- it seems to be working fine. I'm using this demo document: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~houston/demo.Rnw I've copied the Sweave.sty file into at this point multiple places on the Miktex path, including folders where I can see that it is looking for, and successfully finding, sty files (e.g. Miktex 2.8/tex/latex/base). I also went to the Miktex settings application and clicked Refresh FNDB and Update formats. Still I get this error when I try to run pdfLaTeX on the demo.tex file: !LaTeX Error: File 'Sweave.sty' not found. Can anyone help? Thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Hi: Start here: http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html#id573835 I have a LocalTeXfiles directory under my home directory on Windows 7, with nested folders for tex -> latex -> Sweave. All of my Sweave files (*.fd, *.cfg, *.sty) are in the Sweave directory. The manual linked above shows you how to register the directory with MiKTeX.

If you want fancier handling of the Sweave input --> preview workflow, take a look at my patchDVI package on R-forge. It allows "reverse search" from the previewer to find the right line in the Sweave input file, rather than in the intermediate .tex file. Duncan Murdoch
I have found that if I put \include{Sweave} explicitly in my sweave source file
then it finds the copy in the MikTeK folders, but if I don't then Sweave
tries to add that line, but pointing to the R directory that caused the problem
in the first place.
