Hi, Prof. Ripley, Yes, indeed, that was my problem - thank you! I made the mistake of installing in the default path of C:\Program Files\R. I just now reinstalled in C:\R, and everything worked fine. However, if anyone else runs into this, you cannot just go off and run texi2dvi on an existing .tex file after installing in a non-space path: you should rerun the whole Sweave example, which forces a number of additional required items to be downloaded. Let that process complete, then rerun again. It works fine! The finished pdf file sure looks sweet.
Thank you again! Regards, = Peter -----Original Message----- From: Prof Brian Ripley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 3:01 PM To: Peter G.

Simple questions: where did you install R? Is there a space in the path? On Sun, 2 Oct 2005, Peter G. Warren wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to create a Bioconductor package.
