I get the same results, also on FC4 with R 2.2.0. I am cc:ing Frank here for his input, but a quick review of the code and created files suggests that there may be conflict between the locations of some of the resultant files during the latex system call. Some files appear in a temporary R directory, while others appear in the current R working directory. For example, if I enter the full filename: /tmp/RtmpC12100/file643c9869.tex at the latex prompt, I get:
latex(x)

Hmmmm, It works for me. Interesting.
It almost looks like the temp dir is not being created, but thats not
possible because R does that. It might be a Unicode issue with you
system shell. Can you run this statement in R
sys(paste('cd',dQuote(tempdir()),";",
"echo Hello BOB > test.test",
";","cat test.test"))
What version of Hmisc are you using? What local are you using?

I'm using Hmisc 3.0-7 (2005-09-15). I did an update.packages right after installing R 2.2.0. Here is the output I get: sh: line 0: c: "/tmp/RtmpSp4207": No such file or directory [1] "Hello BOB" Thanks. Rick B.
