Hi all,
I am having a problem in R where R is finding an old non existent version of
miktex rather than the new version. This occurs despite having set the path to
the correct location.
For example in bash if I look for the location of pdflatex:
$ which pdflatex
/c/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/x64/pdflatex
It points to the correct MikTex installation.
However in R:
Sys.which("pdflatex")
pdflatex
C:\\PROGRA~1\\MIKTEX~1.9\\miktex\\bin\\x64\\pdflatex.exe"
Points to the old (1.9) version of Miktex.
This is my session info:
R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1
Matrix products: default
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252
[2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252
[4] LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] compiler_3.5.1
Any thoughts?
I have unsuccessfully tried:
1. Adding correct MikTex path to my Renviorn.site. this adds MikTex to my
path and I can see the addition, but doesn’t fix the problem
2. Adding MikTex path to my $PATH variable. This lets bash find the right
version of miktex but doesn’t help in R
3. Making sure I only have on version of MIktex. I don’t have tiny tex
installed (nor can I because I need the full MIkTex for other work) .
Best,
Claire
