R Sweave will not create a .bbl file on Linux Ubuntu

[jcblum]

Hi @bretauv!

Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having. There has been at lest one other Sweave/bibtex-related thread here recently:

R Sweave Bibtex Citations

I am writing and have been writing several documents using Sweave. In the past, I have been able to create a .bib file and cite using the natbib package with apa styling. Since updating (to enjoy the lovely jobs feature) I can not compile my old .rnw files that used to work. I've spent hours searching (like this person) around and the only solution that has worked is to open the .tex file that is generated and compile there (this works flawlessly in both cases below). However, using two programs is less than ideal and I'd like to get RStudio to build the pdf directly. There was some discussion online that perhaps RStudio is not running the BibTex command to create the .bbl file. This seems…

Does anything in that person's experience help you out?
