You apparently don't have xdvi installed, which is used to view the 
resulting document. How you get that installed on your OS, I don't know. 
Depending on what you're doing, you might want to use the "file" 
argument of latex function to output a latex file, and then do further 
processing.  Also, assigning the latex function call to a variable, x <- 
latex(...) will suppress printing of the object, which is ultimately 
what is trying to use xdvi.
