: Hi,
: 
: I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty'
: not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same
: error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version
: 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm
: directory.
: 
: I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions and found Arnab
: Mukherji reporting the same problem on Dec 23 2003 (Subject: "[R] Rd.sty not
: found -"). In reply Prof. Brian Ripley suggested the following:
: 	It should be looking in TEXINPUTS, as is the point of the following
: in the check script
: 	$ENV{'TEXINPUTS'} = env_path(&file_path($R::Vars::R_HOME, "share",
: "texmf"), $ENV{'TEXINPUTS'});
: 	So you could try adding to TEXINPUTS yourself, and you should
: certainly check the current setting of the environment variable (unset is
: fine). 
: I am not sure if I understand it correctly but I created environmental
: variable TEXINPUTS with path to R_HOME/share/texm. It did not help.
: 
: Any other suggestions? 
: Should I use some other version of Latex?
: Do I have to configure it in any special way?
: 
: Thanks for any suggestions,
