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 alternative, MiKTeX, is ha...

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 .

Dear expeRts, below are two examples of using texi2dvi. The problem becomes clear from the second example: on cleaning, texi2dvi also deletes the generated .pdf file. Is there a solution? Cheers, Marius ## Example 1: texi2dvi cleans fine, without deleting the generated .pdf require(tools) sink(file="myLaTeXFile1.tex") cat("...

Dear all, I was hoping someone may know a way of running texi2dvi while ignoring bibtex errors, or any other work around (such as not running bibtex at all, if possible). The context is that I have an R program that does some calculations and writes a table into various folders, one per country for several countries. I have a latex file that takes the table as a...

Buenas noches Instale ubuntu 14.04, corro un archivo que me funcionaba en windows, pero no se que librería debería cargar (instalar) para solucionar el problema. El codigo R dice: function(x) tools::texi2pdf El error dice: Error en texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, : Running 'texi2dvi' on ' Otro archivo se compilo sin problemas (lyx con sreave). texi2html esta en los repositorios, pero no los anteriores. ¿Sugerencias?

L.S. I noticed weird tools::texi2dvi behaviour on R-alpha when specifying an absolute path to the .tex file. The same phenomenon also appears to occur on R-2.12.2, so maybe the issue is independent of R. I hope I did not overlook any important information.

Hello: Changes in R seem to have broken the sos vignette, and I don't know how to fix it. The build on R-forge, "https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=235&log=build_src&pkg=sos&flavor=patched", ends as follows: Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, : Running 'texi2dvi' on 'sos.tex' failed.

MiKTeX has abruptly removed texi2dvi.exe from its distribution. (MiKTeX broke its updating process earlier and an attempted update trashed the updater on my installation so I was forced to make a fresh install of the current distribution. I do not know if updates remove a currently installed texi2dvi.exe.) This has two conseque...

Hi, I am trying to create a Bioconductor package. Everything installs and checks fine. Now I'm on my last step, which is to create a vignette. I'm trying to test the Sweave process, to make sure I can build a vignette. I am stuck at the texi2dvi stage, which fails when I try to process the example Sweave-test-1.tex file. I am using Windows binary R distributions, and have the same problem on both the latest developer version (2.2.0 Beta) and the latest patched version (2.1.1) . For the Tex processing, I first tried downloading and instal...

...yesterday. This is a bit embarrassing as I helped produce a "How-to" guide to getting this working that is posted at the LyX Wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxWithRThroughSweave). After the updates yesterday, everything goes smoothly except that the code in the MakeSweave.R file that runs texi2dvi seems not to produce a PDF but gives no warnings or errors. The contents of the batch file are: Rterm --no-site-file --no-save -f "C:/Program Files/LyX 1.6.5/bin/MakeSweave.R" --args %1 The batch file is called in the temporary directory where LyX does its work, which is also open to a...

Dear lists: I am somewhat puzzled by the use of texi2dvi/pdflatex in R2.7.0. When building EBImage (bioconductor) with 2.7.0 I get the same error both in Windows and Linux, which reads the following: ** building package indices ... * DONE (EBImage) * creating vignettes ... ERROR /usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting. Error in te...

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 = TRU...

...est.Rnw file, for instance, in "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/utils/Sweave" generates test.tex files that generate pdf files with LaTeX. To be honest, placing Rnw files seem to make sense. The "exams" package does require not this step. It uses texi2dvi and other tools to accomplish this result. Since I have a cursory knowledge of Mac OSX and the role that texi2dvi plays, I cannot understand the error message obtained below. The error occurs when executing the Example from R help(exams). > library(exams) Loading required package: tools startin...

I am currently writing a (private) package in which I produce pdf files from within R using LaTeX. To do so I mainly copied some lines from the buildVignettes() function in the tools package. This uses the texi2dvi which is included in R's bin directory: system(paste(file.path(R.home(), "bin", "texi2dvi"), "--quiet --pdf", bft)) This runs fine on Linux and I assumed that as it is included in buildVignettes() it should also work on Windows (which is importa...
