Hi,
I often used Sweave in the last few years, but today I could not get it to
work.
What is 'it'? What exactly did you run (in R or elsewhere)?
I got this in the LaTeX console:
LaTex error: file 'sweave.sty' not found.
The filename should be Sweave.sty: do you have a case-insensitive file
system? If not, that is the problem: it is looking for the wrong file
name.
Not finding Sweave.sty is correct if you are running latex directly on the
file in R 2.8.0 (sic, see the posting guide). You are expected to use R
CMD Sweave, or Sweave() inside R. See the NEWS item
o The default for 'stylepath' in Sweave's (default) RweaveLatex
driver is now FALSE rather than TRUE if
SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT is unset : see ?RweaveLatex.
To support this, tools::texi2dvi adds the R 'texmf' directory
to the input search path.
which inter alia tells you how to get the old behaviour (and the bugs it
caused). The alternative is to manually add the directory mentioned to
TEXINPUTS.
I am not sure when I lost the ability to use Sweave but in the last 4-5 weeks
I reinstalled my OS (10.5.5), R (2.8) and LaTeX (from TeXLive 2008 using
MacTeX).
In the past I had nothing special to do, Sweave just worked after Iinstalled
LaTeX and R.
I use a MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance,
Denis
