Hello Folks, When I run the document below through sweave, rgui.exe/rsession.exe leaves a file handle open to the sweave-001.pdf graphic (as verified by process explorer). Pdflatex.exe then crashes (with a Permission Denied error) because the graphic file is locked.
This only seems to happen when there is an error in the sweave document. When there are no errors, no file handles are left open. However, once a file handle is stuck open, I can find no other way of closing it save for quitting out of R. Any help would be greatly appreciated! It would be nice to be able to write flawless sweave every time, but flawed as I am, I am having to restart R continuously.
