similar to: Hmisc latex function

I would like to print some tables and figures to a PDF device on a CentOS 5 vps. However, I cannot seem to get the latex function from Hmisc working. I followed the example, and got an error: sh: xdvi: command not found. I tried installing the 'tetex-xdvi' linux package, and now it returns: Error: Can't open display. I guess the reason for this is that the machine is a VPS terminal, so

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.

Hi I am using Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit, R as below, Matlab 7.6.0. I would like to transfer mat files back and forward between R and Matlab. Whilst I have used Matlab for years its been a long time since I have used R (hence question may be a bit simple) Running code A <- c(1:10) dim(A) <- c(2,5) library(R.matlab) writeMat('A.mat', A=A) Does not appear to generate any mat file

Dear all, I want to start my post by expressing my sincere gratitude for all the help this group has given me in Sweave/Latex/R. The tools are excellent and so is the community! On to the question. My Sweave code is intended to make lots of plots and create a *.pdf document. Sweave is perfect for this. The only problem is that I find myself using the same R code, within my Sweave input file

Dear All, Having now successfully started using Sweave, I have just noticed an odd side effect with fonts. Using plain LaTeX, I have had no problems using \usepackage{palatino} or \usepackage{times} and the font correctly changes. However, once I convert the tex document into Snw, and run it through R CMD SWEAVE, LaTeX seems to ignore this package directive. The LaTeX log suggests the font

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.

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

Dear R list, I'm having some problems with font encodings when using R+Sweave+Latex in my native language: Portuguese.

Markdown speaks to a project I've engaged for nearly a decade. Ever since I cobbled up an Apple Newton keyboard to connect to my Pilot 5000, I wanted to type plain text with formatting for later printing. Class notes and such. Once I wrote a complex WordPerfect script using custom markup. For a while I wrote raw TeX, relying on a macro file to simplify things only a little. Upon

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

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 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

Here is a list of files that I have not (knowingly) modified that do not pass rpm verification immediately after I installed centos 5.3. I am not really sure what this means - are the packagers sending out sloppy rpms, or is something going around modifying stuff? Other than the texmf stuff, the list seems to consist entirely of config files. Does yum or rpm or something do some instant

I typically install packages from a local site: > install.packages("x:/tpm/tpm.zip",CRAN=NULL) updating HTML package descriptions Warning message: argument `lib' is missing: using C:/PROGRA~1/R/RW1051/library in: install.packages("x:/tpm/tpm.zip", CRAN = NULL) The warning doesn't bother me, but I've had to help other people who see "warning" and

Hi All, I am running Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) on a Thinkpad T41. I've installed the nowebm package for Ubuntu.

I encountered an unexpected difference in the way that mean and var work: > mean(numeric(0)) [1] NaN > var(numeric(0)) Error in var(numeric(0)) : `x' is empty Looking into this, I discovered in mean.default that sum(x)/n evaluates as > sum(numeric(0))/length(numeric(0)) [1] NaN The function var calls an .Internal and seems to evaluate this: >

Could someone tell me how to end the trouble I'm encountering when running latex on the .tex file produced by Sweave()? Sweave() seems to process the example file (http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/example-1.Snw) without problems, and the file example-1.tex produced is the same as in the Sweave manual. However, when I run latex on example-1.tex, many error messages and requests for
