Hi, yes, I had a look at pgfSweave package and realised that it uses texi2dvi to compile the pdf file.
I tried so much last night again that I am not entirely sure whether it is the same Rnw file or not. I just deleted everything and created a new R-project including a tiny example. I also included sessionInfo(). pgfSweave failed with the same error message: ====================================================== > library(pgfSweave) > pgfSweave(file = "/Users/XXX/Documents/Eclipse/Sweave_Test/test.Rnw") Writing to file test.tex Processing code chunks with options ... 1 : echo highlight term verbatim 2 : echo highlight term verbatim 3 : echo highlight term verbatim tikz sanitize You can now run (pdf)latex on 'test.tex' Not regenerating makefile for externalization, if your figures have changed, remove /Users/XXX/Documents/Eclipse/Sweave_Test/test.makefile and recompile. Error in tools::texi2dvi(paste(fn, "tex", sep = "."), pdf = pdf, ...) : Running 'texi2dvi' on '/Users/XXX/Documents/Eclipse/Sweave_Test/test.tex' failed. In addition: Warning message: 'DESCRIPTION' file has 'Encoding' field and re-encoding is not possible ======================================================= Also pgfSweave did not create any pdf file. I think the reason why I had a pdf file the last time was that at some point I was running the normal sweave which runs without any errors. I then compiled the test.tex file by hand using pdflatex. The pdf was created without any errors. I uploaded all files produced by pgfSweave as well as pdflatex here: http://elxsi.de/~wolfgang/ Hope that helps to track down the cause of the failure...
