Is there a reason that you want to produce dvi then convert it to PDF
instead of producing PDF directly with pdflatex? For beamer slides I
usually use the texi2pdf script to ensure pdflatex is run the
appropriate number of times to resolve all the references.
If you use Sweave and want PDF you should consider calling
R CMD texi2pdf mySlides.Rnw
By prefacing with R CMD you are ensured that the TEXINPUTS environment
variable is set appropriately to get the Sweave.sty file.
