Hi Duncan, I have no problems running latex or pdflatex. I re-ran my code and it seems the problem is that R (or MiKTex ?) put the .tex file (the one wrapping everything in a document format for displaying purpose) in a R tmp folder, but the corresponding .log, .aux, and .dvi in my working directory. So when YAP was called, it was looking for the .dvi file in the R temp folder. Therefore, the error window.
