That might mean that latex isn't finding Sweave.sty, which is in 
RHOME/share/texmf/tex/latex, or more likely it is finding a bad version 
somewhere else.

But in your case I think it's because you're telling latex to use 
RJournal.sty instead of Sweave.sty, and never defining \Sconcordance.

You can avoid the need for it by setting the Sweave option 
"concordance=FALSE".



        The above was on R-Forge.  When I run "R CMD build sos" with R
3.3.0 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.11.4, I get a different LaTeX
error, also in texi2dvi:


Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet,  :
    Running 'texi2dvi' on 'sos.tex' failed.
BibTeX errors:
The top-level auxiliary file: sos.aux
The style file: abbrvnat.bst
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file sos.aux
Calls: <Anonymous> -> texi2pdf -> texi2dvi
Execution halted



Don't know about that one.
