Another approach is to use LyX. The latest stable release comes with
an Sweave module that provides out-of-the box support for Sweave
documents. Once everything is configured, and on a Mac it should be
fairly straightforward in this case, then compiling documents is
usually a matter of pressing a button or activating a key combination.
LyX takes care of a lot of automation for you, including BibTeX et al.
