[R] latex problem with Sweave output file under Debian

Thu Feb 19 01:19:48 CET 2004

Could someone tell me how to end the trouble I'm encountering when
running latex on the .tex file produced by Sweave()? Sweave() seems to
process the example file
(http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/example-1.Snw) without
problems, and the file example-1.tex produced is the same as in the Sweave
manual. However, when I run latex on example-1.tex, many error messages
and requests for user input are generated (below). And when I view the
.dvi that eventually results with xdvi it is empty apart from a small
graphic containing the box plot that shouldbe there; there is no text.
latex produces apparently perfect .dvi files when the .tex files are 
not produced by Sweave.

Some of the error messages (log file pasted below) that result from the
command latex include: 

kpathsea: Running mktexmf  ecrm1000
! I can't find file `ecrm1000'.
! Font T1/cmr/m/n/10=ecrm1000 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file 
not found.
! LaTeX Error: File `ae.sty' not found. 
! LaTeX Error: File `fancyvrb.sty' not found. 
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

I downloaded the missing files and tried (I had no idea) putting them in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/ and /usr/lib/R/share/texmf/ with no
apparent effect. I am using R Version 1.8.1 under Debian linux, with the
tetex Debian-stable package.

Thanks (and apologies if this is OT or if this is too much text),
Dan
