[R] LaTeX slide show (Was: Re: Taking code from packages)

[Janusz Kawczak]

Duncan,

it seems that you did not update 'xcolor' package properly. That's where
\rowcolors is defined. In some instances, especially under MikTeX, the
automatic update fails to update xcolor.sty. So, I suggest you download
the latest xcolor package from the same place as the beamer package and
then manually run 'latex xcolor.ins' to regenerate xcolor.sty. Then move
the *.def and *.sty file to the proper places to gain full compatibility.

Janusz.
