Thanks! I do get several errors though when running on Linux.
Running your code, I get this:
Error in system(cmd, intern = TRUE, wait = TRUE) :
error in running command
Fiddling around with the code and running this:
tmp <- matrix(1:9,3,3)
tmp.tex <- latex(tmp, file='tmp.tex')
print.default(tmp.tex)
tmp.dvi <- dvi(tmp.tex)
tmp.dvi
tmp.tex
dvips(tmp.dvi)
dvips(tmp.tex)
library(tools)
texi2dvi(file='tmp.tex', pdf=TRUE, clean=TRUE)
I get this:
Error in texi2dvi(file="tmp.tex",, :
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'tmp.tex' failed.
Messages:
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.
I've read that it may have something to do with the path of pdflatex.
Sys.which('pdflatex')
pdflatex
"/usr/bin/pdflatex"
Sys.which('texi2dvi')
texi2dvi
"/usr/bin/texi2dvi"
> file.exists(Sys.which('texi2dvi'))
[1] TRUE
> file.exists(Sys.which('pdflatex'))
[1] TRUE
Is there a specific path I should be giving with pdflatex and/or
'texi2dvi to make this work?
Thanks!
