[R-SIG-Mac] R and latex on OSX

[Benilton Carvalho]

I think Brian's point was that you don't have pdflatex in your search  
path.

For example, open the terminal and type:

pdflatex

I'm guessing that you're going to get the same 'command not found'  
error.

You need to identify where your pdflatex is and add it to your PATH  
variable (eg., in your ~/.profile)
