RE: lyx 2 and sweave

[Steve Sidney]

Thanks for your rsponse 

But if one never runs RTools, how does it do this.

In the instructions, it seems as if RTools does not get run; or am I missing
something.

Also when I downloaded RTools it seems as if this is a tools to re-compile
the source code, since a full download also inlcludes a compiler etc.
Furthermore, it also seems as if RTools implements Cygwin.

All in all very confusing

Really appreciate you taking the trouble to try and help

Regards
Steve

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

Dear Steve,

I have just tried to make more explicit the instructions given by Rob.
Unfortunately, I do not use Windows anymore and cannot directly test them.
As far as I do remember, establishing the connection with Sweave was rather
complex under Windows with the previous versions of Lyx, but it is supposed
to be much simpler with Lyx 2. For example, under OSX, the connection was
just out-of-the-box for me, after having included the module. For Windows, I
do not remember if I had to install RTools, but, anyway, this was before Lyx
2. In your place, I would just follow Rob's instructions, I am pretty
confident that if he has published them, they must work.

Sorry for not being more helpful. I was hoping that other WIndows users who
remember their setup for Lyx2-Sweave connection would ring the bell here.

  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 
 RToolshttp://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/index.htmlfor 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.

Re: lyx 2 and sweave

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Dear Steve,

I have just checked again the explanation on the RTools package and it looks
a little bot overkill to me too, for just installing the Sweave connection
with Lyx. As far as I remember, what you need on the R side to make Sweave
work is the corresponding executables and batch files that comes with R
(check the bin folder) and the latex files that must be included in your
texmf tree. The rest of RTools seems quite spurious to me indeed. Probably,
RTools is a sufficient, but necessary solution of this problem. But, we need
a Windows user to clarify these points.

Thanks v much.
 
You will see that Liviu responded and I have tried to ask the questions re
RTools a little differently.
 
But, tnaks for trying. My problem definitely revolves around the fact that
as soon as try and include the 'Sweave' module is says that it's not
installed and my ver of Latex (Miktex) can't see it. I don't really know
what's package is missing from MikTex.
 
I am sure that Rob's instructions are fine it's just that as a 'newbie'
there seems to be some detail missing and for instance I don't know if I
must install the whole RTools (200mB) or not and then I can't see where it
gets run.
 
Anyway, thanks for trying - maybe I just go to Linux for the this, since
there seems as though there has always been less problems with Sweave in
that environment.

Re: lyx 2 and sweave

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Dear Steve,

I have just tried to make more explicit the instructions given by Rob.
Unfortunately, I do not use Windows anymore and cannot directly test them.
As far as I do remember, establishing the connection with Sweave was rather
complex under Windows with the previous versions of Lyx, but it is supposed
to be much simpler with Lyx 2. For example, under OSX, the connection was
just out-of-the-box for me, after having included the module. For Windows, I
do not remember if I had to install RTools, but, anyway, this was before Lyx
2. In your place, I would just follow Rob's instructions, I am pretty
confident that if he has published them, they must work.

Sorry for not being more helpful. I was hoping that other WIndows users who
remember their setup for Lyx2-Sweave connection would ring the bell here.

 I have also copied the list

 I have tried following your instructions - thanks for sending them but I

 How does RTools get invoked;  I see that it is a very large installation

  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 
 RToolshttp://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/index.htmlfor 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.

Re: lyx 2 and sweave

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Dear Steve,

I have just checked again the explanation on the RTools package and it looks
a little bot overkill to me too, for just installing the Sweave connection
with Lyx. As far as I remember, what you need on the R side to make Sweave
work is the corresponding executables and batch files that comes with R
(check the bin folder) and the latex files that must be included in your
texmf tree. The rest of RTools seems quite spurious to me indeed. Probably,
RTools is a sufficient, but necessary solution of this problem. But, we need
a Windows user to clarify these points.

 But if one never runs RTools, how does it do this.

You should only need to install RTools, this way properly configuring
your Win environment for LyX to R communications, but not run it at
any point when trying to compile an Sweave document.

It was some time ago, but as far as I remember immediately after
installing RTools (and after having already registered Sweave.sty with
LaTeX) I could to easily compile LyX Sweave documents. To echo Murat,
on Linux and Mac it's all much more straightforward, since simply
installing LyX and R suffices to make LyX Sweave work.


 In the instructions, it seems as if RTools does not get run; or am I missing
 something.

 Also when I downloaded RTools it seems as if this is a tools to re-compile
 the source code, since a full download also inlcludes a compiler etc.
 Furthermore, it also seems as if RTools implements Cygwin.

That might be one of the things that allows for the LyX Sweave
integration. It might be better for you to tell us what exactly
doesn't work on your set-up: LyX compilation errors, etc.

Thanks v much.
 
You will see that Liviu responded and I have tried to ask the questions re
RTools a little differently.
 
But, tnaks for trying. My problem definitely revolves around the fact that
as soon as try and include the 'Sweave' module is says that it's not
installed and my ver of Latex (Miktex) can't see it. I don't really know
what's package is missing from MikTex.
 
I am sure that Rob's instructions are fine it's just that as a 'newbie'
there seems to be some detail missing and for instance I don't know if I
must install the whole RTools (200mB) or not and then I can't see where it
gets run.
 
Anyway, thanks for trying - maybe I just go to Linux for the this, since
there seems as though there has always been less problems with Sweave in
that environment.

Re: lyx 2 and sweave

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Dear Steve,

I have just checked again the explanation on the RTools package and it looks
a little bot overkill to me too, for just installing the Sweave connection
with Lyx. As far as I remember, what you need on the R side to make Sweave
work is the corresponding executables and batch files that comes with R
(check the bin folder) and the latex files that must be included in your
texmf tree. The rest of RTools seems quite spurious to me indeed. Probably,
RTools is a sufficient, but necessary solution of this problem. But, we need
a Windows user to clarify these points.

You should only need to install RTools, this way properly configuring
your Win environment for LyX to R communications, but not run it at
any point when trying to compile an Sweave document.

It was some time ago, but as far as I remember immediately after
installing RTools (and after having already registered Sweave.sty with
LaTeX) I could to easily compile LyX Sweave documents. To echo Murat,
on Linux and Mac it's all much more straightforward, since simply
installing LyX and R suffices to make LyX Sweave work.

That might be one of the things that allows for the LyX Sweave
integration. It might be better for you to tell us what exactly
doesn't work on your set-up: LyX compilation errors, etc.

RE: lyx 2 and sweave

[Steve Sidney]

Dear Murat
 
Thanks v much.
 
You will see that Liviu responded and I have tried to ask the questions re
RTools a little differently.
 
But, tnaks for trying. My problem definitely revolves around the fact that
as soon as try and include the 'Sweave' module is says that it's not
installed and my ver of Latex (Miktex) can't see it. I don't really know
what's package is missing from MikTex.
 
I am sure that Rob's instructions are fine it's just that as a 'newbie'
there seems to be some detail missing and for instance I don't know if I
must install the whole RTools (200mB) or not and then I can't see where it
gets run.
 
Anyway, thanks for trying - maybe I just go to Linux for the this, since
there seems as though there has always been less problems with Sweave in
that environment.

Steve

Dear Steve, 

I have just tried to make more explicit the instructions given by Rob.
Unfortunately, I do not use Windows anymore and cannot directly test them.
As far as I do remember, establishing the connection with Sweave was rather
complex under Windows with the previous versions of Lyx, but it is supposed
to be much simpler with Lyx 2. For example, under OSX, the connection was
just out-of-the-box for me, after having included the module. For Windows, I
do not remember if I had to install RTools, but, anyway, this was before Lyx
2. In your place, I would just follow Rob's instructions, I am pretty
confident that if he has published them, they must work.

Sorry for not being more helpful. I was hoping that other WIndows users who
remember their setup for Lyx2-Sweave connection would ring the bell here.

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

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.

 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?

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.

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.
