Kevin, thanks for writing. Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that this is a Windows XP Professional system running GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) from Vincent Goulet, and R 2.6.2 Windows version. I pasted in the sessionInfo() output from ESS inside of Emacs to the end of this note.
Was your TA successful in correcting this error? How? Should I report this to R-development as something worth fixing for the next release? Thanks, again, for your response and advice. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Kevin E.

A TA of mine was just getting the exact same message. He tracked it down to the pathname for Sweave.sty having trouble with "Program Files" in the path.
