Your command
latex(Estimates, file='out.tex', rowlabel='',digits=3)
works for me in a unix environment, and produces
the file out.tex in the current working directory.
(your second example is not reproducible, in
general, since I don't have directory named
/home/b/bquinif/bq/9095
)
Your first message indicated that the command
latex(Estimates, file='out.tex', rowlabel='',digits=3)
did *not* return an error, just that you could
not find the file. If that's the case, then try
getwd()
to find out what R thinks your current directory
is. That is where R should be putting the file.
You can also try, from within R,
list.files()
list.files(patt='tex')
to see what is there.
