Hi Lorenzo, It appears you are missing the texi2dvi program- this is a tool provided by TeX or TeXinfo distributions, not R or tikzDevice. In order to use the tikzDevice, you will need to install a TeX distribution on your machine. As you are running Linux, I highly recommend the TeXlive distribution, which you can get from: http://www.tug.org/texlive/ I recommend using the net installer at: http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html I would advise this over Debian packages, as it has been my experience that the packages can be horribly out of data- for example the Ubuntu package repository lists a build based on TeXlive 2007 as being available for 9.10. The tikzDevice requires PGF/TikZ 2.00 to function properly which in turn requires TeXlive 2008 or later. Hope this helps! -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/TikzDevice-and-texi2dvi-tp2067230p2068350.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
