Yes, I have installed R through opensuse's package installer. Is ?Startup
the correct place to look at about environment variables or is there a more
appropriate help page?
Well, ?R_PDFVIEWER brings up a more appropriate page.

Hi Duncan,
You are right, my options("pdfviewer") is currently
an empty string... I
will have to look into the documentation to create a
.Rprofile (I believe)
and set this option at loading.
You could, but the help says
‘pdfviewer’: default PDF viewer. The default is set from the
environment variable ‘R_PDFVIEWER’, the default value of
which is set when R is configured.
and that normal way is to set R_PDFVIEWER -- but no such viewer was
found when R was configured. (If R was configured by someone else,
e.g. if this was an RPM install, that may not be representative of
your system.)
Thanks for your help.

Dear R-users,
I am trying to figure out why I cannot
print vignettes in my new R
installation (R.11 on opensuse 11.2).
Apparently, vignette objects are
properly created but could not be
printed:
z<-vignette('grid')
str(z)
List of 3
$ file : chr
"/usr/lib/R/library/grid/doc/grid.Snw"
$ pdf : chr
"/usr/lib/R/library/grid/doc/grid.pdf"
$ topic: chr "grid"
- attr(*, "class")= chr "vignette"
z
sh: : command not found
What would you suggest me to do to
perform a step-by-step debugging of the
vignette-specific print function?
The print function is utils:::print.vignette. It
looks as though your
options("pdfviewer") setting doesn't work.
