Hi, I am new to Latex and in the process of installing miktex to work with R on windows XP professional. From earlier posts, I see that fptex was the preferred version, but it is no longer available. Now miktex is preferred. However, there are known issues with finding the style files in version 2.4. Fortunately, www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds. My preference is #4, which appears to be the most straightforward. However, version 2.4 is no longer available from www.miktex.org. Moreover, the file structure changed significantly in version 2.5. For instance, the /localtexmf directory does not exist after installation of miktex 2.6. I tried adding "c:/Program Files/R/R-2.5.0/share/texmf to miktex 2.6's root path, but it returns an error that the path is "not a TDS-compliant root directory". I am not sure how to fix this problem. Any thoughts?
