Hmmm, I can certainly remove the path from the \usepackage command. (Now
that I come to think of it, I have never seen that in LaTeX before.) I
wonder why Sweave put it there in the first place? I thought that I was
just running it "straight out of the box". Don't tell me though: I
will
read the manual some more.
