Based on Gregor's article and on recent discussions, these were the changes needed to get LyX and Sweave up and running on my system (Gentoo Linux). 1. Put noweb.sty [1] in your TeX PATH, followed by TeX rehash and LyX reconfigure. 2. Add the following lines to the LyX preferences file: # FORMATS SECTION ########################## \format "literate" "Rnw" "Sweave" "" "editor" "editor" \format "r" "R" "R/S code" "" "editor" "editor" \format "pdflatex" "tex" "LaTeX (pdflatex)" "" "editor" "editor" \format "latex" "tex" "LaTeX (plain)" "" "editor" "editor" "document" # CONVERTERS SECTION ########################## \converter "literate" "r" "R CMD Stangle $$i" "" \converter "literate" "latex" "R CMD Sweave $$i" "" \converter "literate" "pdflatex" "R CMD Sweave $$i" "" As a result, using LyX 1.5.2, pdflatex and R 2.6.1, the documents that you made available Normal-01.lyx [2] and Gamma-02.lyx [3] compile like a sweet. Contrary to the Wikipedia entry, it doesn't seem necessary to create a specific "Rweave" "batch" script for processing Rnw-files. I never got into the subtleties of the applied changes, but those mentioned above seem enough to make LyX and Sweave interact well together.
