Error in generating sweave-tex -> pdf file

Hi Carol

As you now know, this is because per default R/Sweave puts the line
 \usepackage{Sweave}
in the generated tex file.  This means the tex file is "portable", but
it also implies that Sweave.sty needs to be "installed" in your tex
installation.  Or you can put the Sweave.sty in the directory of the
Rnw file since tex usually is set up to search the same directory.

An alternative is to get R to generate a line like
 \usepackage{FULL_PATH_TO_SWEAVE.STY}
in the tex document.  This implies that the tex file can only be
tex'ed on a setup where the Sweave.sty is at the same place - hence it
kind of break portability.  Now portability of the tex file does not
matter to many users - most of us think of the tex file as an
intermediate file and only care about the Rnw file and the final PDF.
You get this behaviour by setting the environment variable
 SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT
to
 TRUE
An easy way to do this is to include the following line in your .Rprofile
Sys.setenv("SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT" = "TRUE")

This trick also fixes running Sweave on a system where you do not have
admin rights.

Another question that I have is the following:

If I want to create the package vignette on a server for which I don't have
admin rights to install Sweave.sty, where is the best place to save this file if
I want to run from anywhere in my home directoy or do I have to put this file in
a directory where I should always run from there?

I also attach Sweave.sty to check if it the right file.

R installation and admin manual doesn't tell where to save Sweave.sty.

You shouldn't need to move it.

I use R 2.10.0, fedora 10 and, tex  Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)

That R is pretty old.  I wouldn't be surprised if the current release
handled things better.  But the thing that appears to be missing on your
system is texinfo, and that's not part of R.

When I copied Sweave.sty in the directory where I ran R, I didn't have any
error. But this is not the good solution as R can be run in any folder.

I copied Sweave.sty in  /usr/share/texmf/. I put my Rnw file in inst/doc

folder

in my R package to create the vignette. I ran R CMD check and it doesn find
texi2dvi.

texi2dvi is both a function name in R (in the tools package) and a GNU
utility that comes with texinfo and some TeX distributions, but
apparently not with yours.  See the R Installation and Administration
manual for suggestions on where to get it.  If that doesn't help, you
might get help on this list by stating the versions of everything you're
using: R, your OS, and TeX.

Should the Sweave package be in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/? How about
Sweave.sty?

I meant Sweave.sty, there's no separate Sweave package.  It should be in
the R home directory, somewhere within share/texmf.

Thanks

   Hi,
   I created a Sweave file (see below). when I want to convert tex
   file generated from it into pdf, I get error message as follows:

   >     texi2dvi("test.tex", pdf=TRUE)

   Error in texi2dvi("test.tex", pdf = TRUE) :
      Running 'texi2dvi' on 'test.tex' failed.
   LaTeX errors:
   ! Undefined control sequence.
   l.8 \begin

The Schunk, Sinput, and Soutput environments are defined in Sweave package.
Something went wrong and latex didn't find them, either because it didn't

find

Sweave.sty, or because it did, but that file has been messed up.

   ?
   ! Interruption.

   The control sequence at the end of the top line

   test.Rnw

   \usepackage{Sweave}
   \ documentclass [ a4paper ]{ article }
   \ title { Sweave Example 1}
   \ begin { document }
   \ maketitle

Are there really spaces between the backslashes and the macros?  I think

that

doesn't work.  You should also have the \usepackage{Sweave} line after the
opening \documentclass line.

   In this example we embed parts of the examples from the
   help page into a \ LaTeX {} document :
   <<a>>=
   y=2
   y = y +1
   @
   which shows that the location parameter of the Ozone
   distribution varies significantly from month to month . Finally we
   include a boxplot of the data :

   \end{ document }
