I've just installed Ubuntu to try to get Sweave and TexWorks going there. I've got TexLive installed. I had been using texi2dvi in MikTex in Windows, but now the texi2dvi option --tex-options=-synctex=1 doesn't work. Is there some way to tell texi2dvi to pass the synctex option to pdflatex?

This must be a MikTeX-specific extension. Here on the Mac texi2dvi and texi2pdf are part of the OS (they're installed in /usr/bin) and they don't include any option for passing on arguments to (pdf)TeX: $ texi2dvi --help [...] Operation modes: -b, --batch no interaction -c, --clean remove all auxiliary files -D, --debug turn on shell debugging (set -x) -h, --help display this help and exit successfully -o, --output=OFILE leave output in OFILE (implies --clean); Only one input FILE may be specified in this case -q, --quiet no output unless errors (implies --batch) -s, --silent same as --quiet -v, --version display version information and exit successfully -V, --verbose report on what is done TeX tuning: - <at> use <at> input instead of \input; for preloaded Texinfo -e, -E, --expand force macro expansion using makeinfo -I DIR search DIR for Texinfo files(Continue reading)

Doesn't OS X provide a Bourne compatible shell (/bin/sh)? I don't
have OS X. I'm aware that OS X is a BSD system and csh is the default
login (interactive) shell on BSD. But I suppose that one can expect
that /bin/sh exists on BSD sytems too. Is this assumption true?
If yes, which Bourne compatible shell is used? Is /bin/sh a link to
/bin/bash?

Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.

Howdy,
Actually, the default shell for OS X for quite a few versions now (I don't remember when it changed from tcsh)
is bash.
Good Luck,
