[R] Problems compiling Rd-Files

[Bernd Weiss]

Dear all,

there has been a thread on missing Rd.sty, when converting Rd-files 
to DVI-files, see 
<http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/03b/8179.html>. 

This problem could be solved by editing Rd2div.sh manually, but then 
I got the following error message:

---[error]-------------------------------------------------------
 LaTeX Error: Command \middle already defined.
               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

Again, there has been a thread on this topic at 
<http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/03/1707.html>. 

Has anybody encountered the same problem? 

I am using R1.9 on a Windows 2000 system and a fully updated MikTeX. 

Any help will be appreciated!

Bernd
