[Rd] Error in generating sweave-tex -> pdf file

[carol white]

Should the Sweave package be in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/? How about 
Sweave.sty?

Thanks

The Schunk, Sinput, and Soutput environments are defined in Sweave package.  
Something went wrong and latex didn't find them, either because it didn't find 
Sweave.sty, or because it did, but that file has been messed up.

Are there really spaces between the backslashes and the macros?  I think that 
doesn't work.  You should also have the \usepackage{Sweave} line after the 
opening \documentclass line.
