similar to: Error building R from SVN - unable to run 'pdflatex' on 'example-1.tex'

A kind member of R-core suggested this is due to a misconfiguration on my system, and to post it to the mailing list for troubleshooting. When trying to build R version 4.3.3, in at least two places during the process it gives LaTeX errors of the form: (example 1) you should 'make docs' now ... make[1]: Entering directory '/home/btyner/R-4.3.3/doc' creating

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 texi2dvi(file = bft, pdf = TRUE, clean =

Dear Rxperts, Apologize for posting it to a wrong thread..Hence, the re-post... I am trying to use pdflatex from Hmisc, I get the error message. "pdflatex is not available"... The version of Hmisc is the latest one (got the warning that it was compiled under R version 2.15.3) . The version of R on my machine is > version platform i386-w64-mingw32 arch i386 os

I am having trouble converting the output from Sweave into a valid PDF file. I have created a simple .Rnw file which will become a full vignette at some point, but during the intermediate testing, I got errors from texi2dvi. This is what I have done. 0) Using a Windows Xp system 1) Created a file called GeneSpring.Rnw 2) Convert this to Tex using Sweave("GeneSpring.Rnw") from within R

Hi, I created a Sweave file (see below). when I want to convert tex file generated from it into pdf, I get error message as follows: > texi2dvi("test.tex", pdf=TRUE) Error in texi2dvi("test.tex", pdf = TRUE) : Running 'texi2dvi' on 'test.tex' failed. LaTeX errors: ! Undefined control sequence. l.8 \begin {Schunk} ? ! Interruption. !

I'm trying to (re)learn Sweave and run into some problems. I use now ubuntu (8.10), emacs + ess. Slowly getting upto speed on ess. I have a complete (hopefully) .Rnw file, but the resulting .tex will not compile. The file does not contain anything exotic, but it produces pdf figures, and that is where the problems come: library(tools) > Sweave("varioCoo.Rnw") Writing to file

I'm trying to get pgfSweave up and running. Hopefully I can get it working from within LyX, but first I'm just trying to get the simplest possible thing (compiling one of the example files in the pgfSweave package) to work. I'm using the example that comes in the pgfSweave package unmodified, but for reference I copied it to: http://pastebin.com/tW4RL6fs Configuration: R version

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 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

Hi: I'm still trying to figure out how use Sweave. Trying the example below I get the error message when texi2dvi is executed. Any ideas about how to make texi2dvi work? library(tools) > testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "utils") > options(device.ask.default=FALSE) > Sweave(testfile) Writing to file Sweave-test-1.tex

HI, I am working on R and Latex. R CMD Sweave Test.Rnw (this generates Rnw.Tex file ) R CMD pdflatex Test.tex (It generated Test.pdf) Is there any way to change the name of of output file (Test.pdf). I want it to pass the output file name as parameter. R CMD Sweave Test.Rnw Output_File R CMD pdflatex Output_File.tex So output file name will be Output_File.pdf Regards -- View

The nodes of our cluster do not have pdflatex installed. When running R CMD check there on a package with no errors in documentation, then R-2.13.0-alpha and R-2.12.2 report a possible error in Rd files, while R-2.11.1 did not. The platform is 64 bit CentOS. The output of R CMD check tree_1.0-28.tar.gz under the above three versions of R contains the following. R-2.11.1 stderr sh:

Hello: Changes in R seem to have broken the sos vignette, and I don't know how to fix it.

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

Dear list, On Fedora 8 I downloaded the beta version of R via svn. make and make check-all worked fine, but make vignettes is failing with: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gavin/R/2-7-patched/build/src/library' building/updating vignettes for package 'grid' ... processing 'displaylist.Snw' /usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.

Dear all, This is my first post to the mailing list. I asked this question a little while ago on stackoverflow but did not get an answer. Please allow me to ask again. I have R set up on both Windows7 and kUbuntu12 machines. On Windows, I happen to have both MikTeX and TeXlive available (and both work). How could I instruct R to call TeXlive instead of MikTeX? Both MikTeX and TeXlive are on my
