Hello, All: Two related questions:
SHORT QUESTION: Which version of LaTeX does the R Project prefer and
why? I'm having trouble with MiKTeX, and one source suggested I switch
to TeX Live. (e.g., "https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29034";)
PRESENTING PROBLEM:
"R CMD build sos" under Windows 7 on a clone from
"https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos"; ended with, 'The required file
tex\latex\pgf\frontendlayer\tikz.sty" is missing.' I clicked "Install"
and got "MiKTeX Update Wizard: The operation could not be completed for
the following reason: No data. Details: get host by name failed in
tcp_connect()".
I get the same error when I try to run MiKTeX 2.9 Update and
"Update (Admin)". (I got the "tikz.sty is missing" message only after I
had turned off everything I could find to turn off in "Bitdefender Total
Security".) I think I saw a suggestion to manually delete "C:Program
Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9" and manually remove the reference from the path,
then reinstall into a different directory that the operating system and
anti-virus would not by default identify as part of the operating system.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
p.s. This is using R 2.6.2 immediately after running "update.packages()".
