Dear Rxperts..
The problem of latex looking for "tex" and "dvi" files in a "TEMP" folder
still persists. As a work around, I changed the options..
options(latexcmd="pdflatex",dviExtension="pdf")
After the above change,
latex(....,file="a1")
seems to work but the resulting pdf file is something
like..."file13207cb8d2c.pdf.
When this file was created, "a1" tex tile, "file13207cb8d2c.aux" and "
file13207cb8d2c.log" files were also created in the "current working"
folder.
I still get the error message:
Windows API error 2: The system cannot find the file specified:
Data:
C:\Users\santosh\ApptData\Local\Temp\RtmpeGaNYGi\file192183g543.pdf.dvi
Looking eagerly forward to your suggestions.
Regards,
Santosh
