Hello:


	  What do you suggest I do to overcome "LaTeX Error:  File 
'inconsolata.sty' not found", which I got running "R CMD check" on a 
package using Rtools I downloaded yesterday?


	  I found a similar question to R-Help Nov. 3 (URL below), but I've not 
yet had success in replicating the solution outlined there.  I tried 
several different sets of instructions for installing LaTeX packages, 
none of which seemed to work for me.  I'm running Windows 7 
[sessionInfo() below].


	  Suggestions?
	  Thanks,
	  Spencer Graves

That file should be installable as part of your LaTeX distribution.  If 
you are using MikTeX, you can install it from the MikTeX Package Manager 
as part of package "inconsolata".

Hi Spencer,

to solve this problem, you only need to install the TeX package
"inconsolata". You can install it from the CTAN
(http://www.ctan.org/pkg/inconsolata) but the best way depends on the
TeX distribution you have installed.
Since you're running Windows 7, I guess it is MiKTeX and so the MiKTeX
manual may help you :

http://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/pkgmgt.html
http://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/texfeatures.html#autoinstalloptions

Hope this can help,
Vladislav Navel

Thanks.  I found the MiKTeX Package Manager, selected 
"inconsolata", then Task -> Install.  This produced, "MiKTeX Problem 
Report:  Failure when receiving data from the peer".  I copied the 
report to clipboard and pasted it (below).  All the directories there 
seem to exist.  What else do you suggest?  (This is on a Windows 7 
notebook.  Is this a feature of Windows 7?  I installed MiKTeX under 
"C:\Users\sgraves" hoping to minimize these kinds of problems.)


       Thanks,

cannot install MikTeX packages ....

Like Uwe, it works for me, so I don't really know what's going wrong for 
you.  I would guess from the message that it is the download that is 
failing, rather than a problem on your system:  you might want to just 
try again, or specify a different repository (via menus, "Repository | 
Change package repository...").  You might also need to specify a proxy, 
if that's how your system is set up.  (You do this in "Connection 
settings" in the change repository dialog.)

Beyond that, I'd echo Uwe's suggestion to ask on a MikTeX list.

Hi, Duncan & Uwe:


       Thanks for your suggestions.  I uninstalled and reinstalled 
MiKTeX, and the problem went away.


       MiKTeX seems to malfunction when installed anyplace but the 
default location.  Because of security problems I had had with Vista, 
I've been installing things like R and MiKTeX under my user account, not 
the default "C:/Program Files (x86)".  When I reinstalled it, I put it 
in the default location and eliminated this problem.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
