similar to: finding yap.exe with Sweave

Hello, I wonder if anybody has encountered this problem? While MiKTeX/yap/Ghostscript seems to work fine on most TeX files that I have tested (including a great deal of postscript graphics), there is one file where the graphics works ok for all postscript files except one, the only one that is generated by R. I get an error "Some postscript specials could not be rendered", and the

The xdvi and yap DVI viewers allow inverse (aka reverse) search: you click on a location in the output display, and your editor moves to the corresponding location in the input file. yap at least also allows forward search, where you can have your editor tell it to location where a particular input line is displayed. I would like something like this to work in Sweave files. That is, I

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

Hi all, I know from googling that this is a common problem; I've just tried what I understand to be the common solutions to know avail -- maybe I'm just confused. I installed Miktex 2.8 -- it seems to be working fine. I'm using this demo document: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~houston/demo.Rnw I've copied the Sweave.sty file into at this point multiple places on the Miktex

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

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

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 new to Latex and in the process of installing miktex to work with R on windows XP professional. From earlier posts, I see that fptex was the preferred version, but it is no longer available. Now miktex is preferred. However, there are known issues with finding the style files in version 2.4. Fortunately, www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds.

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.

Hi, I would appreciate some help with a very basic problem in using pgfSweave. That is, dealing with the sweave.sty file. After some googling, I did the following : (1) copied the sweave.sty file to my trial folder and (2) added the line?? \usepackage{Sweave}?? to the Rnw file. Are there more elegant ways of dealing with this issue? I have read something about letting Miktex know about the

Hi: After a couple of days trying to synchonize or connect MiKTex and R I'm getting a little frustrated. My knowledge about creating and running batch files is kind of limited so, I was wondering if someone could explain in plain english how to do this task. I'm able to run MiKtex by itself and accomplish what I am trying to do, but I want to be able to use the Sweave function from within

Dear useRs-- I have been using Sweave with miktex for years, but on a new install on Windows XP, miktex seems to be hung up on single quotes. See example below. Digging through stackexchange, I found using \usepackage[noae]{Sweave} in the tex file solved the problem. My questions are: --Why would this happen? I have the ae package installed. --If inserting [noae] is the solution, how do I

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 everybody, I wanted to use Sweave but I do not have the Latex package: "LaTeX Error: File 'Sweave.sty' not found." I cannot find it with MiKTeX :-( Can somebody help me ? Thanks a lot, Jimmy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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.

In the process of updating R to R 2.7 alpha or R 2.7 beta for the BioConductor 2.2 builds on Windows, I have hit a snag because the BioC build system has long path names (e.g. D:\biocbld\bbs-2.2-bioc\R) and these path names are not resolving properly by MiKTeX 2.7 during vignette construction. Take, for example, the attached vignette from Biobase, Bioconductor.Rnw. I have built R from source

Hi: I am working on a publication and I have heard about LaTEX but I haven't actually tried to learn about it until today. I've found a few examples but I can't actually make them work properly. I have a couple of questions: Does LATEX have to be installed on your computer? How does the xtable package and Sweave work together? How can I make the code below create a table as pdf file?

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

Hi Hadley: I'm practicing writing a document using MikTex but can't make qplot to execute. It works when using 'plot' though.
