Unable to compile a book in pdf #531

Closed deanfantazzini closed 6 years ago

deanfantazzini commented 6 years ago

In the last 2 days I am completely unable to build a textbook with bookdown in pdf (while the gitbook version works normally): I tried to reinstall RStudio, Miktex (updating all packages), but to no avail. The funny thing is that in the error log it says that opening xelatex.exe did not succeed, but in the Rstudio global and project options pdfLaTex is used to compile Latex into pdf.

Find below the error that I get when trying to build the pdf of the classical bookdown-demo example:

"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS bookdown-demo.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output bookdown-demo.tex --table-of-contents --toc-depth 2 --template "d:\PROGRA~2\R\R-34~1.3\library\RMARKD~1\rmd\latex\DEFAUL~3.TEX" --number-sections --highlight-style tango --latex-engine xelatex --natbib --include-in-header preamble.tex --variable graphics=yes --variable "geometry:margin=1in" --variable tables=yes --standalone 
output file: bookdown-demo.knit.md

This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99999 (MiKTeX 2.9.6600 64-bit)
entering extended mode

Sorry, but d:\PROGRA~2\MIKTEX~1.9\miktex\bin\x64\xelatex.exe did not succeed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

  C:/Users/Dean/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/xelatex.log

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

You may try to uninstall MiKTeX, and install TinyTeX instead (and restart RStudio):

devtools::install_github('yihui/tinytex')
tinytex::install_tinytex()
devtools::install_github('rstudio/rmarkdown')

More info: https://yihui.name/tinytex/

deanfantazzini commented 6 years ago

Thank you! You saved my day and really a lot of nerves. Thanks again.

yihui commented 6 years ago

Glad to know tinytex saved a person (once again)!

jiachenghe666 commented 5 years ago

Thanks! It saves my life, too!
