Hello,

Please excuse me if the setting is inappropriate for such a question...

I very much like the idea of getting R graphical outputs in line with TeX
via tikz. I simply encounter a simple installation problem. First
install.packages("tikzDevice",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") does not find the file and even the
default install command only finds version 0.4.8 regardless of the mirror I
use. (in fact that is the latest version found in
http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.10/)

Later on R says all kind of rubbish things... (like this: Checking for a
LaTeX compiler... A working LaTeX compiler was found in: The R environment
variable R_LATEXCMD Global option tikzLatex set to: no latex in /usr/bin
/bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin sh: line 1: no: command not found)

I guess it does not find LaTeX... I am using MacTeX 2010 with OSX 10.4.11

Your help will be much appreciated.

Best,
yirmiyahou
