[R] simplest pgfSweave example results in error

[Yihui Xie]

The error message was:

! LaTeX Error: File `test-003.tikz' not found.

So I'm wondering how your StatET tried to compile the tex file,
especially what was its working directory.

Anyway, I recommend you to turn off the compilation to PDF in
pgfSweave() so that it only generates the tex file, and then you
compile the tex file manually.

pgfSweave(..., graphics.only = TRUE)  # this will stop it from calling
texi2dvi()

Regards,
Yihui
