[R] Problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi": Rd.sty not found

[Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W.]

Hi,

I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty'
not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same
error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version
2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm
directory.

I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions and found Arnab
Mukherji reporting the same problem on Dec 23 2003 (Subject: "[R] Rd.sty not
found -"). In reply Prof. Brian Ripley suggested the following:
	It should be looking in TEXINPUTS, as is the point of the following
in the check script
	$ENV{'TEXINPUTS'} = env_path(&file_path($R::Vars::R_HOME, "share",
"texmf"), $ENV{'TEXINPUTS'});
	So you could try adding to TEXINPUTS yourself, and you should
certainly check the current setting of the environment variable (unset is
fine). 
I am not sure if I understand it correctly but I created environmental
variable TEXINPUTS with path to R_HOME/share/texm. It did not help.

Any other suggestions? 
Should I use some other version of Latex?
Do I have to configure it in any special way?

Thanks for any suggestions,
