[R-SIG-Mac] Textmate/ SWeave: Error PDF file not written to disk

[Felix Schönbrodt]

Dear Saiwing,

thanks for your efforts. I tried your changes, but they didn't work  
for me.
As Alan suggested, I posted the question once more on the Textmate  
mailing list; maybe I can get some help there ...

Cheers,
Felix
