Hello, All:

       What's the recommended way to get pdflatex installed on Windows 
10 to run "R CMD"?


       I ask, because "R CMD build bssm" under Windows 10 produced 
'Warning in system2(..., stdout = FALSE, stderr = FALSE) : '"pdflatex"' 
not found'.


       This was after installing Rtools using the following (recommended 
by 
"https://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/cpp/installing-rtools-for-compiled-code-via-rcpp/";):
 



install.packages("installr")
library("installr")
install.Rtools()


       Below please find the output in a commands window including 
"sessionInfo()".


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
