Re: 2.0.2 and sweave
That is good to know. Thanks a lot for the experiment! I need to add this approach to the manual; it is much easier (and safer) than messing with the PATH variable directly. I often feel extremely frustrated with instructing Windows users on how to modify PATH.

Even better, it interpolates environment variables: Set R_HOME globally, e.g., to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.0 Then in LyX, under Tools-->Preferences-->Paths-->PATH prefix, append ;$R_HOME\bin and "reconfigure" LyX.

Re: 2.0.2 and sweave
We mentioned this once before (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/72719), but did not get anybody work on it. So let's call for python hackers again: it will be fantastic if LyX is able to find Rscript automatically under Windows (from environmental variables RHOME, R_HOME or from the Windows Registry Hive). Before that, users still have to modify the PATH by themselves. Or maybe it is easier to modify the preferences? Tools-->Preferences-->Paths-->PATH prefix. I have never tried it.

Looks like a very smooth integration. A couple of questions: Is it possible to set the path to Rscript directly within LyX, without changing the global system PATH? Does LyX check either RHOME or R_HOME? Is it preferable to use the 32-bit or 64-bit Rscript?
Re: 2.0.2 and sweave
Just curious -- why isn't Yihui's manual in the Help menu in LyX? Because it's still a work in progress?

Re: 2.0.2 and sweave
We need someone to update the wiki pages (I'm quite busy these days); currently you should refer to the manual built-in with LyX (examples/sweave.lyx), and a PDF version is here: https://github.com/downloads/yihui/lyx/sweave.pdf Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie Phone: 515-294-2465 Web: http://yihui.name Department of Statistics, Iowa State University 2215 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA On Sun, Dec 4, 2011 at 1:34 PM, Jack Tanner wrote: > I'd like to get started with LyX and Sweave.

2.0.2 and sweave
I'd like to get started with LyX and Sweave. There are a bunch of tutorials out there, some linked from the LyX wiki, some not. But I can't tell which are current and which aren't. I'm on LyX 2.0.2, R 2.14, Miktex 2.9, Windows 7 x64; could someone suggest the right tutorial or just post the steps here? Thanks in advance.
