I've just committed some changes to allow R to be built and to use MikTeX without needing the Rd.sty files to be installed to localtexmf. Unfortunately, the changes are not compatible with other TeX packages, so if you're not using MikTeX you'll need to edit a couple of the config files (or set an environment variable). I'd appreciate hearing of any problems during the alpha or beta test period. A binary build conta...

...e is a slight simplification. It consists of updating the MiKTeX file database using initexmf instead of the GUI so you don't have to move back and forth during the instructions. The discussion there might correct or improve this further. Regards. --- 1. Create a new tex subfolder of your \localtexmf folder: md \localtexmf\tex 2. Copy your R .sty and .fd files into it, update the MiKTeX texmf file name database and check that Rd.sty is found in the correct place, viz. \localtexmf\tex: cd \Program Files\R\rw2001\share\texmf copy *.* \localtexmf\tex initexmf -u fi...

...ls/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds. My preference is #4, which appears to be the most straightforward. However, version 2.4 is no longer available from www.miktex.org <http://www.miktex.org/> . Moreover, the file structure changed significantly in version 2.5. For instance, the /localtexmf directory does not exist after installation of miktex 2.6. I tried adding "c:/Program Files/R/R-2.5.0/share/texmf to miktex 2.6's root path, but it returns an error that the path is "not a TDS-compliant root directory". I am not sure how to fix this problem. Any thoughts? Tha...

Dear all: Just to make sure I am on the same page as everyone else. I just got a new computer and had to reinstall MikTex and of course R and Tinn-R. In order to be able to generate PDF's with Sweave I had to install notepad++ to tell Sweave where Latex.exe and yap.exe where located under MikTex path. So,I have two questions: 1- Do I need to have a Miktex editor in order to use Sweave? I am

A suggestion: it would be nice if bibtex provided some extractor functions for bibentry fields. > bib1 <- read.bib("C:/localtexmf/bibtex/bib/timeref.bib") ignoring entry 'Donoho-etal:1988' (line 40) because : A bibentry of bibtype ?InCollection? has to correctly specify the field(s): booktitle ... snipping other similar warnings ... > length(bib1) [1] 628 > > bib2 <- read.bib("W:/texmf/bibte...

Hi, I'm trying to latex part of my R- code and don't know where to find the sinput package to include in my version of miktex (I have the LINUX version handy, but need also the Windows one) Any idea?

Hi, Lately my Latex engine used for checking packages stop working, and I can not figure out how to fix it. When creating my package (caMassClass) I get the * checking caMassClass-manual.tex ... ERROR LaTeX errors when creating DVI version. This typically indicates Rd problems. message. I look in caMassClass-manual.log file and find ! LaTeX Error: File `Rd.sty' not found.

I then went to Start | Programs | MiKteX | MiKTeK Options | General and updated and refreshed everything. * I got the following paths in variable environment of the system: C:\tools\bin\;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\MinGW\bin\;C:\Rsource\latex\miktex\bin\;C:\HTML_Help_Workshop\;C:\Rsource\Tcl\bin\;…...
