similar to: Problem Sweaving vignettes: MiKTeX's texi2dvi reports errors

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 consequences: 1) It is used by tools::texi2dvi() if found. As far as I

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

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

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

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

According to the MikTex bug reports [1], MikTex 2.9 has removed texi2dvi.exe last week (on 2015-09-29) as "it was not compatible (anymore) with the original shell script texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo)." I found this out the hard way as I just (unknowingly) updated MikTex this evening, and then, while building R-devel_2015-10-08 on Windows7 64bit using the Rtools 3.3 toolchain (4.9.3 branch), had

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

Sorry, I forgot to include a reproducible example on my last e-mail but here it is: Since the file is large to be included here: The path to the foo.Rnw examples is: www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/foo.Rnw and is suppossed to produce a pdf like this one: http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/foo.pdf I have downloaded MiKTEX but I don't know how to make it work. Sweave and Stangle seem to

I am working on a Windows XP machine with R 2.10.1 and a recent installation of MiKTeX 2.8. I use LyX (www.lyx.org) to write documents and have it set up to run Sweave, Stangle, and make the PDF through R using a batch script and a MakeSweave.R file. This system worked just fine until I ran some MiKTeX updates yesterday. This is a bit embarrassing as I helped produce a "How-to" guide to

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

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 R-devels, I encounter the following problem when I want to build a vignette in the package building process under Windows platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor

Hello, I am trying to start using Sweave. I copy the example from help 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) ## This can be compiled to PDF by tools::texi2dvi("Sweave-test-1.tex", pdf=TRUE) and I

Hmm, look in MkRules.dist for the setting you failed to make .... Obviously available in R-patched and R-devel only as we cannot foretell such changes.

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 = TRUE) : # '"texi2dvi

Dear R developers, I had some problem when building package: for exemple when building the package e1071 available from CRAN, I get the following message error: * checking for file 'e1071/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'e1071': * cleaning src * running cleanup * creating vignettes ... ERROR /usr/lib/R/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.

Hello, I'm seeing three different vignette-related errors with recent versions of R-3.0.0 alpha. First, with the package BitSeq (http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/BitSeq.html), I get the following when trying to build the package: Error: processing vignette ?BitSeq.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: Failed to locate the ?weave? output file (by engine ?utils::Sweave?) for

Hello. I am in a habit of compiling daily snapshots of R-devel and R-patched on my Windows XP workstation. I have cygwin environment with up-to-date RTools and MiKTeX. I run cygwin and MiKTeX upadaters pretty often (every couple of days) so both of them are reasonably current. Recently I noticed a small annoyance when compiling R-dvel. It started happening right after I updated to the new

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, 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
