I am dreaming if someday I have enough time to write a Chinese text book about how to use R to replace SPSS in processing survey datasets. I am dreaming this book is done with LyX and the R codes in the book are well incorporated into the book. Then I thought about Sweave, a tool that I heard about when I was in graduate school.
After some hours of reviewing concepts about shell and online materials about Sweave, I am writing down the steps for setting up the LyX-Sweave environment in a Linux (Fedora 11) machine:
A good guidance of installation and example Lyx files provided by Paul Johnson are available here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxWithRThroughSweave. Below is a bit updated information about the steps.
1. Create a file named Rweave in /usr/local/bin, where two lines of codes are put into the file:
2. Put Noweb.sty and Sweave.sty in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/noweb (create the folder "noweb" if necessary). Noweb.sty can be downloaded here and Sweave.sty is available in your R library: /usr/share/R/texmf/Sweave.sty.
3. In the terminal, change to the root, type "texhash" to update the tex system. Then go to LyX, Tools -> Reconfigure. Next, restart LyX.
4. In LyX, Tools->Preferences-->File Handling, choose "Noweb" in "From format" and "LaTeX(pdflatex)" in "To format". Then, in converter box, type "Rweave $$i". Hit Add and Save.
5. Then you can try to open the example files and making the pdf files.
