[R] Latex and r

[moleps]

xdvi is installed in the same location as yours. I even did a reinstallment of mactex. Still doesnt work. But since I´m now convinced its related to my latex distribution I´ll take the problem elsewhere..

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.
