[R] Sweave and Miktex (Sweave.sty not found)
Hi all, I know from googling that this is a common problem; I've just tried what I understand to be the common solutions to know avail -- maybe I'm just confused. I installed Miktex 2.8 -- it seems to be working fine. I'm using this demo document: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~houston/demo.Rnw I've copied the Sweave.sty file into at this point multiple places on the Miktex path, including folders where I can see that it is looking for, and successfully finding, sty files (e.g. Miktex 2.8/tex/latex/base). I also went to the Miktex settings application and clicked Refresh FNDB and Update formats. Still I get this error when I try to run pdfLaTeX on the demo.tex file: !LaTeX Error: File 'Sweave.sty' not found. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Re: [R] Sweave and Miktex (Sweave.sty not found)
Hi: Start here: http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html#id573835 I have a LocalTeXfiles directory under my home directory on Windows 7, with nested folders for tex - latex - Sweave. All of my Sweave files (*.fd, *.cfg, *.sty) are in the Sweave directory. The manual linked above shows you how to register the directory with MiKTeX.

You don't mention your R version, but recent ones have the command Rcmd texify which will call MikTeX correctly. If you want fancier handling of the Sweave input -- preview workflow, take a look at my patchDVI package on R-forge. It allows reverse search from the previewer to find the right line in the Sweave input file, rather than in the intermediate .tex file.

Re: [R] Sweave and Miktex (Sweave.sty not found)
Thank you very much, Dennis. That worked. I had tried pointing the list of Roots to the R directory where the Sweave file was originally located, and had gotten an error, but I had not tried making my own directory.

Re: [R] Sweave and Miktex (Sweave.sty not found)
I have found that if I put \include{Sweave} explicitly in my sweave source file
then it finds the copy in the MikTeK folders, but if I don't then Sweave tries
to add that line, but pointing to the R directory that caused the problem in
the first place.

Subject: [R] Sweave and Miktex (Sweave.sty not found)
Hi all,
I know from googling that this is a common problem; I've just tried
what I
understand to be the common solutions to know avail -- maybe I'm just
confused.
I installed Miktex 2.8 -- it seems to be working fine.
I'm using this demo document:
http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~houston/demo.Rnw
I've copied the Sweave.sty file into at this point multiple places on
the
Miktex path, including folders where I can see that it is looking for,
and
successfully finding, sty files (e.g. Miktex 2.8/tex/latex/base). I
also
went to the Miktex settings application and clicked Refresh FNDB and
Update
formats.
Still I get this error when I try to run pdfLaTeX on the demo.tex file:
!LaTeX Error: File 'Sweave.sty' not found.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Yes, MikTeX (or latex in general?) often gets confused by the pathnames
that Sweave enters. Putting in the explicit \include stops Sweave from
trying to help.
