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

I've been working on a LaTeX document that contains Sweave code and cannot get MikTeX to find the Sweave.sty file. I've added the c:\rw1081\share\texmf path in the MikTeX roots (I've ven added the path in the environment variables ) but to no avail. Is there a trick to getting Sweave installed correctly when using MikTeX on Windows XP? Do I need to move/copy the Sweave.sty file to the

Recently, I upgraded MiKTeX to the latest versions, and since then there are problems when I try to build R and/or R packages. I tried to build R 1.9.0 beta and R 1.8.1 patched I am running Windows XP Pro, SP 1 MikTeX version is This is e-TeX, Version 3.141592-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.4) (preloaded format=latex 2004.3.27) fpTeX version is This is e-TeXk, Version 3.141592-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2) (format=latex

I created a tex file following the example in the Sweave help which produced the following files in my working directory. Sweave-test-1-006.eps Sweave-test-1-006.pdf Sweave-test-1-007.eps Sweave-test-1-007.pdf Sweave-test-1.tex When I run latex on this, I get a latex error, log file below. I am running R 2.1.1 on Windows XP. I have installed "small MiKTeX" and I have added

Hi, I am new to Latex and in the process of installing miktex to work with R on windows XP professional. From earlier posts, I see that fptex was the preferred version, but it is no longer available. Now miktex is preferred. However, there are known issues with finding the style files in version 2.4. Fortunately, www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds.

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

Dear all, I seem to be unable to check a source package since I upgraded R to 2.3.0 (Ubuntu Linux 5.1). I get this: * checking package dependencies ... ERROR > tools:::.check_package_depends("/home/adi/Work/QCAGUI") I have even tried with R-patched, same result. My Renviron does specify the path to the installed packages (and all depending packages are installed):

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

Greetings, \Sexpr{} has worked on MikTex with earlier versions of R, I can not seem to get it to work with R-2.4.0. I run Sweave with MikTex using the following statement in Run under Accessories. latex -include-directory="C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.0\share\texmf" "C:\Documents and Settings\Suzette\Desktop\MyFile\MyProgram.tex" Any advice would be much appreciated, Suzette

Using Sweave on Windows (MikTeX 2.5 and R 2.4.1), I've ran into a bit of a problem with the tex -> DVI process. First, I've corrected the common \usepackage error by using \usepackage{"C:/Program Files/R/R-2.4.1/share/texmf/Sweave"} to get around the spacing problem. That is, LaTeX is finding the Sweave.sty, which has been a common problem in past postings here. However, my

Hi, I would appreciate some help with a very basic problem in using pgfSweave. That is, dealing with the sweave.sty file. After some googling, I did the following : (1) copied the sweave.sty file to my trial folder and (2) added the line?? \usepackage{Sweave}?? to the Rnw file. Are there more elegant ways of dealing with this issue? I have read something about letting Miktex know about the

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 an input, and this latex file is

R Community, I often am in need of viewing the reference manuals of packages and do not have Internet access. I have used the code: path <- find.package('tm') system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")),"CMD", "Rd2pdf",shQuote(path))) someone kindly provided from this help list to generate the manuals from the latex files. This

Hi, I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty' not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm directory. I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions

Hi, I've just tried to run example-3 from Friedrich Leish. I'm using R 1.8.1 and MiKTeX 2.2 on Windows XP.

Dear WizaRds, I wrote a small function in R and would like to create a package. The necessary documentation is done, Rtools etc. are installed and I am still unable to complete the process under Windows. I did extensive research in the archives and read the Murdoch-Sutherland website on the Rtools and MikTeX hints. I realize that I understand only half or less of what is said there

R users, I'm at a loss with a problem considering running .tex files produced by Sweave. When I run (R 2.7.0): --------------------------------------------------- #Taken from ?Sweave testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "utils") ## enforce par(ask=FALSE) options(device.ask.default=FALSE) ## create a LaTeX file Sweave(testfile)

Hi I am still trying to wrap up a package using Rcmd (in windows 2000 professional with R 1.8.1).

Thus I get: c:\rpack> Rcmd check test * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory 'C:/rpacks/test.Rcheck' * checking for file

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
