similar to: miktex 2.6 and R

I've just committed some changes to allow R to be built and to use MikTeX without needing the Rd.sty files to be installed to localtexmf. Unfortunately, the changes are not compatible with other TeX packages, so if you're not using MikTeX you'll need to edit a couple of the config files (or set an environment variable). I'd appreciate hearing of any problems during the alpha

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

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

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

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.

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)

Dear WizaRds, I wrote a small function in R and would like to create a package. The necessary documentation is done, Rtools etc. are installed and I am still unable to complete the process under Windows. I did extensive research in the archives and read the Murdoch-Sutherland website on the Rtools and MikTeX hints. I realize that I understand only half or less of what is said there

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

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

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

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 am just in the middle of a conversation on the tex list but just in case you are about to post anything to your web site here is a slight simplification. It consists of updating the MiKTeX file database using initexmf instead of the GUI so you don't have to move back and forth during the instructions. The discussion there might correct or improve this further. Regards. --- 1. Create a

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

I would like to start building R packages under Windows XP. I have programming experience and a minimal but working knowlege of many Unix (-like) programming tools. The package functions (for now) will be from R source, not C or Fortran. I've installed Rtools, Perl, the MS hhc, and so on. I am setting up a command shell with the correct PATH for building packages. (The master Windows PATH

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

Greetings, \Sexpr{} has worked on MikTex with earlier versions of R, I can not seem to get it to work with R-2.4.0. I run Sweave with MikTex using the following statement in Run under Accessories. latex -include-directory="C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.0\share\texmf" "C:\Documents and Settings\Suzette\Desktop\MyFile\MyProgram.tex" Any advice would be much appreciated, Suzette

Concerns: OS Win32 / R 2.5.0 Recently (IIRC not with R < 2.3.0), I had some problems including postscript graphics produced in R into LaTeX with MikTeX [version 2.5.2574]: yap, respectively GhostScript/GSView (versions 8.54/4.7 resp.) threw errors. In fact, I realized this was just the same problem as reported in http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/06/28858.html Apparently, by

Hi, When writing formulae in Rd files I use \leq to get a less-than-or-equal-to sign, as this is what the LaTeX references I consulted suggested. This works correctly for the PDF output (Rcmd Rd2dvi.sh --pdf), however when the Rd file is converted to text or html this command is converted to "<=q". A workaround is to use \le instead of \leq which works with my LaTeX distribution
