I think I have pdflatex. At least there is a PATH to textbin > Sys.getenv("PATH") [1] "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin"
Does this path indicate I have pdflatex? I'm confused because asking about the pdflatex PATH returns a space: Sys.which("pdflatex") pdflatex "" What is up with that?
