texi2dvi is both a function name in R (in the tools package) and a GNU 
utility that comes with texinfo and some TeX distributions, but 
apparently not with yours.  See the R Installation and Administration 
manual for suggestions on where to get it.  If that doesn't help, you 
might get help on this list by stating the versions of everything you're 
using: R, your OS, and TeX.
