Hello everybody
I'm am trying to build a pdf out of the Rd files that i wrote for a package, so that I can attach it to my thesis.
if i Run Rd2pdf (or Rd2dvi) I get this error massage:
Hmm ... looks like a package
Converting Rd files to LaTeX .
Creating pdf output from LaTeX ...
Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, :
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'Rd2.tex' failed.
Output:
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in
your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use
this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --help
output for more details.
For information about obtaining TeX, please see http://www.tug.org. If
you happen to be using Debian, you can get it with this command:
apt-get install tetex-bin
Error in running tools::texi2dvi
The problem is, that i have a valid Tex installation and I am able to call texi2dvi in the shell, as it is in my path.
In R getOption("texi2dvi") gives me the correct path to texi2dvi "/usr/bin/texi2dvi"
I am running R2.12.2 on MacOSX 10.6.7 and have TexLive 2010 installed
That message is coming from texi2dvi (the system command), not from R.
So you might want to investigate why texi2dvi as invoked from R is
different than texi2dvi as invoked from your shell. I'd try
system("texi2dvi --version")
in R and compare the result to what you get outside, examine the
environment variables PATH and TEX in both places (with
Sys.getenv(c("PATH", "TEX")) in R) to look for differences, etc.
