[R] Sweave recode(car) and Lyx, compiling but not executing on Mac

[Graham Smith]

John,

Thanks, its difficult when you don't know where the problem is. The
code works fine directly in R on the Mac, and from whta you say it
works with Sweave, so it seems to narrow it down to Lyx/Sweave/Mac
interaction.
