[R-SIG-Mac] Textmate/ SWeave: Error PDF file not written to disk

[Saiwing Yeung]

I ran into the same problem today (at least the symptoms matched) and  
it took me some time to figure this out... Basically I solved this by  
copying the file Sweave.sty to the same directory as the the .rnw  
file. I suppose you can also try to add the path to Sweave.sty. But  
then, by having the file in the same directory, when you send your  
stuff to other people, it is more likely that you will include it and  
prevent your collaborators from having the same problem.


A related issue is that the "missing Sweave.sty" error isn't shown in  
the TextMate output when you run "Sweave, Typeset, & View" even though  
it looks like it should.
     run_tex "$FILE" 2>&1| latexErrWarnHtml.py -v

I haven't really looked into this though. For now I just comment out  
the redirecting part
    run_tex "$FILE" # 2>&1| latexErrWarnHtml.py -v
so that I can see the LaTeX errors.


Hope this helps,
Saiwing
