Nobody seems to have asked whether the student is using R from the
Mac GUI, or R at the unix-style command line prompt.

I also have an issue on the Mac getting latex(describe(iris)) to work.
I get the .tex file but this error:

That's true but quick previewing of the LaTeX result is useful. I
frequently type latex(describe(mydataframe)) for example. Everything is
