R help - Jan 2009 - Question on Sweave-Latex and examples in the Sweave Manual

Hi List,

I have a problem with using Latex and Sweave for creating a document. 
So I downloaded the Sweave manual from 
http://www.statistik.lmu.de/~leisch/Sweave/Sweave-manual.pdf

and i have tried to replicate the example on pages 4-5, but i encounter the
following problem: IT DOES NOT WORK. I can run Sweave, create the .tex file and
then when building the .tex file in TeXnikCenter i get all sorts of error
messages.

The syntax:
>Sweave("ex1.Rnw")
Writing to file ex1.tex
Processing code chunks ...
 1 : echo term verbatim
 2 : term verbatim eps pdf

You can now run LaTeX on 'ex1.tex'
 
I have attached the log file with the error messages.

Initially i had a problem with \usepackage {sweave} but i think i have solved
(as it is not mentioned in the log file) it by putting it in the .Rnw file and
then i copied the Sweave.sty file in the same folder as my Rnw file.

I have seen the FAQ section on 
http://www.statistik.lmu.de/~leisch/Sweave/FAQ.html#x1-14000A.12 (and similar
posts in the archive) but still i have problems. I have reinstalled R in
C:\R-2.8.1 as it says in the FAQ (and one of the posts in the archive) but i
still get 15 errors, one of them being a fatal one, as it can be seen in the log
file.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thank you very much and have a great day ahead!


PS: I have slightly modified the original document as 
library(ctest) is no longer available

Hi Eugene,
I didn't get the attachment, so I'm not sure what error messages you
are getting. But I think \usepackage{sweave} should be
\usepackage{Sweave} (with a capital S).
