[Tikzdevice-bugs] Update:pgfSweave partly working, but problems with figures (R hangs)

[Jenny Hutchison]

Dear list,
An update to my problem - I've narrowed it down to an issue with my Eclipse
external launch configuration for pgfsweave, so I apologise as this not the
appropriate forum for the question (although if anyone has insight into
this, I'd be grateful!).

I confirm that I can run pgfSweave successfully from the R console within
my Eclipse environment, so clearly all the underpinnings are in place and
working correctly. I can edit the figure, and (after deleting the makefile
document), the figure is successfully rebuilt and all is well.

But I'm having absolutely no luck in figuring out the appropriate
adjustments to the Eclipse/statET launch configuration for sweave to make
it run correctly. It gets hung up somewhere after building the figure's
.tikz and .dep files but before the .pdf file is produced (at least, so I
assume because that's what I have/don't have when I cancel the command).

Hi Jenny,

Apologies, but I have little experience running R through Eclipse so I
can't think of any suggestions that may help. If you do manage to figure
out what the problem is, please post another follow-up if you have the time.

Good luck and thanks for trying our packages!

Thanks, Charlie. A small step forward: if I 'clean' the project prior to
attempting to launch the pgfSweave configuration within Eclipse, the issue
of R hanging is resolved. The real problem then becomes apparent: although
a (correctly) updated .tikz file is created for my figure, the
corresponding .pdf is not generated.
I'm going to put it down to some weirdness in combination of versions of
Eclipse, statET, R, or the stage of the moon, as Alan Arnholt (who has put
together a nice guide for installation and configuration of R, statET,
Eclipse and sweave, pgfSweave
http://www1.appstate.edu/~arnholta/classes/InstallingR.pdf ) confirms that
my test document runs on his setup i.e. he's getting the pdf generated.
So, for now, I'll stick with running pgfSweave from the R console within
Eclipse and be glad that that is working!
Cheers,
Jenny

Jenny-

Unfortunately I am in the same boat as Charlie though I would be interested if you get it working properly.
