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.

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

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

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

I'm looking for a Windows distribution of TeX that works with R, after a few years' absence from Windows. On Duncan Murdoch's Rtools page fptex is still recommended, but it turns out that fptex is "defunct" as of May 2005, see http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-7.html So, what is suggested? TUG (tug.org) recommends something called proTeXt, which is said to be

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.

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

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

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

Dear useRs-- I have been using Sweave with miktex for years, but on a new install on Windows XP, miktex seems to be hung up on single quotes. See example below. Digging through stackexchange, I found using \usepackage[noae]{Sweave} in the tex file solved the problem. My questions are: --Why would this happen? I have the ae package installed. --If inserting [noae] is the solution, how do I

Hi I am still trying to wrap up a package using Rcmd (in windows 2000 professional with R 1.8.1). I have made some progress - and now at least Rcmd check works - it still giving me an error message when it creates latex help files though. Thus I get: c:\rpack> Rcmd check test * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory 'C:/rpacks/test.Rcheck' * checking for file

Hi, This is a follow-up to the problem reported here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-September/058460.html After I updated R-2.12 to 2010-09-13 r52905 on the Bioc build system, some of the packages that have a Makefile in <pkg>/inst/doc still don't build on Windows. For example, 'R\bin\R.exe CMD build adSplit' gives: * checking for file

Dear R users, I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said that fpTeX has been discontinued. I have MikTeX in my computer, and I have followed the recommendations in

Several times my packages have fallen foul of the latex check at the uploading-to-CRAN stage, creating extra work for Kurt Hornik. I've never bothered trying to get latex working on my own packages (happy with vanilla help) but am told that "latex is the closest thing to a syntax checker for Rd files" and that I should set it up. Now, there is already a latex on my (Windows XP)

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

Hi.. I am running R version 2.3.1 on a Windows XP machine with the latest Miktex 2.5 installed. I get no errors from R when running the Sweave example, testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "utils") However, when I tex the resulting .tex file (after installing a4.sty) I get the error below. This is pdfeTeX, Version

In the process of updating R to R 2.7 alpha or R 2.7 beta for the BioConductor 2.2 builds on Windows, I have hit a snag because the BioC build system has long path names (e.g. D:\biocbld\bbs-2.2-bioc\R) and these path names are not resolving properly by MiKTeX 2.7 during vignette construction. Take, for example, the attached vignette from Biobase, Bioconductor.Rnw. I have built R from source

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

the inconsolata miktex package (inconsolata-zi4 in CTAN) which contains the font of the same name was recently updated. It now contains the file zi4.sty instead of inconsolata.sty. When I was building an R package, the help(or vignette) file pdf couldn't built , because R couldn't find inconsolata.sty. Any suggestions for a workaround? Could someone file a bug report, if appropriate? ( I
