Dear expeRts!
Thanks for suggestions about getting MiKTeX... I have that installed.. The
Sys.getenv("PATH") also reflects the path of "pdflatex"..
I noticed that the function creates ".dvi", ".aux" files in the "current
working directory but looks for these files in Sys.getenv("TEMP") folder.
Is there away to make "latex" point to the correct folder? I have similar
problems with other functions like texi2dvi.
owd <- getwd()
setwd("../Tables")
latex(a1,output="test",file="t1.tex",here=T)
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)
entering extended mode
