RE: lyx 2 and sweave

[Steve Sidney]

Dear Murat
 
I sent this last week but see now that it went to your University email -
apologies. I am sending this again in case you did not receive it.
 
I have also copied the list
 
I have tried following your instructions - thanks for sending them but I
still can't get it to work.
 
How does RTools get invoked;  I see that it is a very large installation
(200Mb) with compiler etc but I can't see where it get used in either Rob's
or your description.
 
Once again thanks for all your help it is much appreciated.
 
Regards
Steve

Dear Steve,




If I try to make a little bit more explicit these instructions by Rob:


Here’s the process:

1.  Install LyX.  Use alpha6 (available from the LyX website), it’s the
most stable. 

2.  Install R.  Available from its project’s website. 

3.  Install the appropriate RTools
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/index.html  for your version of
R. 

4.  Copy Sweave.sty from share/texmf in the R installation directory to
some place in your LaTeX path. 

5.  Rebuild your LaTeX database.  Reconfigure LyX.


1. You just install the most recent version of Lyx.

2. and 3. Check your version of R. Launch R and check the About box. Use
this information to download the correct RTools version from the wab page
indicated by Rob.

4. R is normally installed in Program Files\R-project if I remember well.
Locate the subfolder share under the folder of R-project (using the file
manager of WIndows), and then the folder subfolder texmf that should be in
the share folder. Copy this folder in your Miktex tree. MikTex should
normally be installed in Proram Files\Miktex and must contain a sunfolder
texmf that again contains a subfolder latex. Put the the content of the
share\texmf folder in a subfolder of this latex folder (you can create a new
folder called sweave for example and copy the files in this new folder).

5. You have two choices here: The user-friendly one is to locate the MikTex
manager program from your Programs/Miktex menu and refresh the Latex file
index from here (one of the tabs must be about such a functionality). The
more direct one uses the Command line window (You should be able to open one
from Start/Programs/Accessories/Command... In this window just execute the
following command: mktexlsr (type mktexlsr and push the Return key). This
will read some folders and update their indexes for allowing to Latex
compiler to find the corresponding files.
Then Launch Lyx and Execute Reconfigure (please look in the menus, I do not
remember under which menu this function appears in the Window version).

I have written the paths to the relevant folders from memory, and I am not
sure to remember well since I do not use Windows anymore. I also translate
from French Windows. But if you look for the meaning of what I indicate, you
should find your way.
Sorry for not being more precise, but I hope that this can help you in the
waiting of more precise indications from an current Windows user.

Thanks Liviu

Yes I have tried but not sure that I understand points  3), 4) and 5).

Have also posted a question to Rob and hope he has time to reply.

 Dear list

 I have run into some problems trying to get lyx 2 working with Sweave.

Assuming that you're on Windows, try Rob's instructions [1]. It is really
much easier to set up LyX with Sweave on Linux (and possibly on Mac).

 Is anyone aware of a set of instructions that I could follow.

 It seems that those posted by Jeff Laake in Nov 2010 are not correct
 for Lyx 2.0

 Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, RTools simply (among other things) properly sets up
R in the Windows environment so that LaTeX and LyX can communicate
with R. At this step, you shouldn't be doing much more. Are you sure
you have reconfigured LyX?
