[R-SIG-Mac] Sweave Error

[Kent Manley]

I just used migration assistant to move from a PPC G4 to an Intel based Mac Book Pro, and I'm having all sorts of ghosts like this, too.

Try, in the named directory below,

sudo chmod +x Sweave.engine

You'll have to give it your user password, but that should set the executable bit.

Best+ HTH,
Kent
