So that is the problem. The 'View' button was disabled because the converter associated with the Sweave module does not exist.
I am not sure about the reason why these converters are not there. JMarc should be more familiar with the configuration behind the scene. I can give you steps to manually define these converters, but I do not want to mess up with your LyX configurations. You may come back to me if you really cannot solve the problem. BTW, are you sure the bin path of R is in your PATH? try this in a command window (Start-->Run; cmd): Rscript --version Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyi...@gmail.com> Phone: 515-294-2465 Web: http://yihui.name Department of Statistics, Iowa State University 2215 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 9:03 PM, Z.L.
