The problem is that the Windows binary of that package is really not available on R-Forge.

You can install from sources if you ask R to:

install.packages("patchDVI", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";, type="source")

given you have the Rtools installed.



I then ran the tests in Rtools.

Which tests in Rtools???

I suspect the fact that I have I have
installed R in a path containing spaces may be the problem - maybe also for

Paths with spaces generate problems for LaTeX and R tries to work around, but may fail.


Not sure why you do the stuff below at all and why R cannot change the working directory.

the Sweave part. Is there any other remedy but to re-install R or can I
insert a link in a path without spaces  ?

Hi everybody.

Was the problem below ever solved? I have the same problem on Windows 7
with
R 2.13.0 and LyX 2 - everything freshly installed. My Rweave.bat and
MakeSweave.R files are similar to below (I followed
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/**LaTeX/SweaveR/lyx_with_r_and_**
sweave_instructions.pdf<http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LaTeX/SweaveR/lyx_with_r_and_sweave_instructions.pdf>
)


I don't use LyX or that batch file, I use some code I wrote that's in the
patchDVI package 
(https://r-forge.r-project.**org/R/?group_id=233<https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=233>)
that I wrote.  You might want to try it.

The single line to run Sweave and pdflatex is

Rscript -e "patchDVI::SweavePDF( '$1' )"

where $1 is the name of the .Rnw file.  If that doesn't work for you, I
might be able to help with debugging.
