Hi
I have come late to the discussion
how about trying
? texi2dvi
for pdf or dvi eg
texi2dvi("D:/Cic/Sweave/Figs/Sheep3/FS/15/sFSheepFS15.tex", pdf =
TRUE, clean = TRUE)
Version
R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03), i386-w64-mingw32
Win 7
I made an environmental variable for Miktex in Windows or it was made
on installation.
c:\Program Files\MikTex2.9\miktex\bin
I have had no problems
If you do not set a working directory it defaults to your R directory
My Documents or whatever.
