Hi everybody. Was the problem below ever solved? I have the same problem on Windows 7 with R 2.13.0 and LyX 2 - everything freshly installed. My Rweave.bat and MakeSweave.R files are similar to below (I followed http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LaTeX/SweaveR/lyx_with_r_and_sweave_instructions.pdf ) I also cannot do texi2dvi("Sweave-test-1.tex", pdf=TRUE) after running the example. I have Tinn-R installed but I believe the "--no-site-file" part in the batch file should take care of clashes there. I realy do not know what to do next
