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.

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.

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

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

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 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 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

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

We have received an email in Ubuntu alerting us that something strange was going on during the r-base 2.7.1 rc build (see [1]). It seems that there is an error during the convertion of R-FAQ.texi to pdf. The following excerpt, taken from [2], shows the problem: /bin/sh: line 0: test: too many arguments TEXINPUTS=".:$TEXINPUTS" /usr/bin/texi2dvi --texinfo="@set UseExternalXrefs

I just installed R-1.7.0 on Darwin 6.6 (a.k.a. MacOS 10.2.6). 'make' and 'make check' run without any problems. 'make info' builds with no complaints, but 'make dvi' and 'make pdf' fail. I get refman.dvi and refman.pdf OK (with some warnings from pdftex that some names are referenced that do not exist), but R-FAQ.{dvi,pdf} fails as shown below. Attempts

Hello, I am trying to call texi2dvi on a very simple tex-file (see below) and it fails with a memory access error. I originally tried to call it on another, meaningful tex file with the same error occuring. I am attaching a screenshot. Thank you very much for your help.

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("\\documentclass{article}\n")

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.

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 ...

I have installed Sweave as recommended. http://lifeasclay.wordpress.com/tag/sweave/. Placing a test.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

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
