[R] Sweave and size10.clo

[Tom Schenk Jr.]

Duncan-

Thanks for getting back and trying the code on your machine, I appreciate
that. I'm not suspicious of \usepackage because inserting a type-o in the
command will give me a specific error on not finding Sweave.sty. I did try
backslashes, but that gave an error on not finding Sweave.sty.

Are you sure that's the problem?  You have two closing parens after that
file is listed; I think that succeeded, and the error happened afterwards.

I'd be suspicious of the Sweave \usepackage line.  Perhaps MiKTeX now
requires backslashes instead of forward slashes, or maybe the quotes are 
causing problems.   (Your \usepackage line worked fine here, but I'm 
using MikTeX 2.4.  MikTeX has a habit of making incompatible changes.)
