Install TinyTex and get luatex.dll error message #26

Closed nszekeres closed 4 years ago

nszekeres commented 4 years ago

Hi, got this message when installing TinyTex... is this a problem?

I read that others ignored this message: "There might be an error dialog or two about luatex.dll during the installation (like this), but that does not seem to hurt, and I just clicked “OK”."

PS. Install on Windows machine

ty, Naomi

Hi @nszekeres, it looks like there might be a problem with TeXLive. Hopefully it will be resolved in a couple of days. Give it another go in a day or so.

The good news is that you don't necessarily need LaTeX at the moment (you can just preview your Markdown files as HTML).

ps. Thanks for posting here!

In the past day I've also been getting an issue when trying to knit to PDF. If I try to run the suggested debugging commands, for example tinytex::tlmgr_update() I will get this following error:

Is this issue related?

even i am getting this issue is there any way to solve this issue. I have a lot of pending assignments please help

btskinner commented 4 years ago

@AngelClaudio: I think so.

@Vidhipa: This repo is for a course and not directly related to this issue with tinytex / texlive, so I don't have any better solutions than to wait until texlive is updated and tinytex works again. If you can't wait, people on other threads have suggested just installing MikTeX instead.

@btskinner I'm a bit confused, I did install MikTeX, should I have something else installed?

btskinner commented 4 years ago

@AngelClaudio, then I guess my suggestion isn't correct. I don't know. My understanding is that there's been a (very rare) bug introduced in the upstream TeX chain and that it's filtering down into this issue. It might just be a few days until the bug is fixed and everything goes back to working as normal.

@Vidhipa just FYI you can knit to HTML, open in browser, and print, save as PDF as a work around for now.

I've done this and it works now.

btskinner commented 4 years ago

Thanks, @kokbent!

So it seems that these steps may help

tinytex::uninstall_tinytex()
tinytex::install_tinytex()

You may get some warnings from the first step, but it's probably just fine. Go ahead and move forward with the second step to install.

See the thread that @kokbent links for more information.

@btskinner - thanks for the insight on the issue I posted... I'll remove/rerun as you suggested. Right now, it actually gave me an issue when I tried to complete Assignment 1 - part 2. The text rendered in html, but wouldn't render in PDF - it cited the luatex issue. Best, Naomi

tinytex::tlmgr_update()

¡THANK YOU! <3

@nszekeres - it's rare, but sometimes these things happen with R libraries. HTML is fine right now. If it's not fully resolved itself by now, it will soon.
