[R] MiKTEX and texi2dvi

[Felipe Carrillo]

Liviu: Thanks for the links, I'll check them out. On a different note, have you used MiKTEX at all? I have downloaded it but I don't know how to make it work. Sweave and Stangle seem to work fine but when I use "texi2dvi" it crashes.
 library(tools)
  Sweave("C:/Program Files/R/R-2.7.2/bin/foo.Rnw")
Writing to file foo.tex
Processing code chunks ...
 1 : echo term verbatim (label=two)
 2 : echo term verbatim (label=reg)
 3 : echo term verbatim (label=fig1plot)
 4 : term verbatim eps pdf (label=fig1)
 5 : term verbatim eps pdf (label=fig2)
 6 : term hide (label=foo)
 7 : term hide (label=foo2)
 8 : echo term verbatim (label=blurfle)
 9 : term tex (label=tab1)

You can now run LaTeX on 'foo.tex'
>    Stangle("C:/Program Files/R/R-2.7.2/bin/foo.Rnw")
Writing to file foo.R 
>    texi2dvi("foo.tex",pdf=TRUE)

Error in texi2dvi("foo.tex", pdf = TRUE) :

Any ideas why texi2dvi is crashing? "foo.tex" exist on same directory as "foo.Rnw" but it says that is missing.
