This is confusing to me. Ideally Sweave should write that file in the > temp folder, and R will clean up the temp dir string in the tex > output. However, in your case, both tasks failed. Have you set up any > Sweave options like prefix and prefix.string in your document? Or have > you ever changed the Sweave module in LyX? What are the first few > lines of messages when you compile the document? (View-->View > Messages) > Not as confusing as it is to me :-( It's identical to the file that compiled in October, I opened the Lyx file and tried to compile it and couldn't because I got this error, then opened it in Lyx/Ubuntu and it compiled fine. I have pasted the lines from View-->Messages errors come half way through, so I thought this would be more informative than just the firet few lines 21:59:54.210: Previewing ... 21:59:54.218:
