Hi all, Using Lyx 1.5.2 and MiKTeX 2.5 on XP. I am trying to use the Sweave to create literate-article documents. I haven't found great documentation for how to do this on a windows install, but I have pieced together the following steps, that ultimately fail when I try to produce any layout by any method. I get the following error. "Lyx:Cannot convert file. An error occured whilst running R CMD Sweave "newfile2.Rnw"". Anybody know why?
What I did.... (1) download Noweb.sty file (2) verify that MiKTeX is indexing the directory containing Noweb.sty. (3) create a preferences file that contains the following code, store this in the Lyx Users directory, and verify through Lyx menu that this correctly updates converters # FORMATS SECTION ########################## \format "literate" "Rnw" "Sweave" "" "editor" "editor" \format "r" "R" "R/S code" "" "editor" "editor" \format "pdflatex" "tex" "LaTeX (pdflatex)" "" "editor" "editor" \format "latex" "tex" "LaTeX (plain)" "" "editor" "editor" "document" # CONVERTERS SECTION ########################## \converter "literate" "r" "R CMD Stangle $$i" "" \converter "literate" "latex" "R CMD Sweave $$i" "" \converter "literate" "pdflatex" "R CMD Sweave $$i" "" (4) Copy literate-article layout files to users directory. (5) reconfigure Lyx. Then comes the error when I try to get any output. Thanks. -- W.
