Dear Rxperts, Apologize for posting it to a wrong thread..Hence, the re-post...
I am trying to use pdflatex from Hmisc, I get the error message. "pdflatex is not available"... The version of Hmisc is the latest one (got the warning that it was compiled under R version 2.15.3) . The version of R on my machine is > version platform i386-w64-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor 15.2 year 2012 month 10 day 26 svn rev 61015 language R version.string R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) nickname Trick or Treat > Is it not available anymore? I created a latex file using "tables" package and am unable to create the pdf file using pdflatex ... I am also not able to use Sweave with the above version of R as it is not available. I also tried texi2dvi (from tools); and it says "latex is not available". But, I was earlier able to use "latex" with tabular to generate a "tex" file. I am confused with such conflicting messages. Also.. when I tried to use latex again, latex(summ2,title=outfile,file="a1.tex") # summ2 is a "tabular" output using "tables" package 'latex' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Error in system(cmd, intern = TRUE, wait = TRUE) : 'yap' not found In addition: Warning messages: 1: running command 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c cd "C:\Users\santosh\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpsZ3tP9" & latex -interaction=scrollmode "C:\Users\santosh\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpsZ3tP9\file13207cb8d2c"' had status 1 2: In shell(cmd, wait = TRUE, intern = output) : 'cd "C:\Users\santosh\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpsZ3tP9" & latex -interaction=scrollmode "C:\Users\santosh\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpsZ3tP9\file13207cb8d2c"' execution failed with error code 1 Any suggestions welcome!
