Hi, I recently switched from Mac OS X (after 7 years) to Xubuntu 12.04 and I am quite happy with it so far. I first installed R from source but I was somehow missing certain things and I thus decided (after a new Xubuntu installation which I had to make due to other reasons) to install R the "Ubuntu way":
,----[ R installation: ] | 1) sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list | 2) add: | deb http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/ | 3) in a terminal: | gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key E084DAB9 | gpg -a --export E084DAB9 | sudo apt-key add - | 4) the "standard way": | sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get install r-base | sudo apt-get install r-base-dev | sudo apt-get build-dep r-base-dev `---- ,----[ .libPaths() shows: ] | "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" | "/usr/lib/R/site-library" | "/usr/lib/R/library" `---- I realized that the TeXLive Version which can be installed via the Ubuntu Software Center is quite outdated (2009) for my needs. I therefore installed TeXLive 2011 like this: ,----[ TeXLive 2011 installation: ] | 1) download install-tl-unx.tar.gz from http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html | 2) tar -xzf install-tl-unx.tar.gz | 3) sudo ./install-tl # see http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html (hit "I") | 4) add the newly installed version to PATH (in .profile): | PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH `---- So far, so good. I can easily work with R (and TeX) and I can also Sweave a .Rnw file (and obtain the .tex). However, if I apply pdflatex to the .tex file (I actually use latexmk for doing this but that doesn't matter), I obtain: ,----[ error on latexmk'ing the .tex file: ] | ERROR: LaTeX Error: File `Sweave.sty' not found. `---- Clearly, one has to tell LaTeX where Sweave can be found. I known that on the Mac on could set a symbolic link to make LaTeX aware of Sweave. I tried the same under Xubuntu: ,----[ set symbolic link: ] | cd /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/tex/latex | sudo ln -s /usr/share/R/share/texmf Sweave `---- However, I still obtain the above error. Some thoughts: 1) Putting Sweave.sty in the same folder as the .tex file works (of course), but I do not want to copy Sweave.sty all the time. 2) Setting the link in /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux also led to the same error. How can I set up the symbolic link so that latexmk/pdflatex finds Sweave?
