Thanks for your rsponse But if one never runs RTools, how does it do this.
In the instructions, it seems as if RTools does not get run; or am I missing something. Also when I downloaded RTools it seems as if this is a tools to re-compile the source code, since a full download also inlcludes a compiler etc. Furthermore, it also seems as if RTools implements Cygwin. All in all very confusing........ Really appreciate you taking the trouble to try and help Regards Steve -----Original Message----- From: Liviu Andronic [mailto:landronim...@gmail.com] Sent: 12 June 2011 11:32 PM To: Steve Sidney Cc: myi...@gmail.com; lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Subject: Re: lyx 2 and sweave On Sun, Jun 12, 2011 at 4:02 PM, Steve Sidney <ste...@nla.org.za> wrote: > How does RTools get invoked; I see that it is a very large > installation > (200Mb) with compiler etc but I can't see where it get used in either > Rob's or your description. > As far as I know, RTools simply (among other things) properly sets up R in the Windows environment so that LaTeX and LyX can communicate with R. At this step, you shouldn't be doing much more. Are you sure you have reconfigured LyX? Liviu
