Hi All,
I've reproduced the example from Prof. Friedrich Leisch's webpage. When I

Writing to file example-1.tex
Processing code chunks ...
1 : echo term verbatim
Error: chunk 1
Error in library(ctest) : there is no package called 'ctest'
Also while I'm at it, is there an R command to compile the tex file as a
pdf or does the Sweave() function do that for me?
Thanks,

example-1.Rnw: from http://www.statistik.lmu.de/~leisch/Sweave/
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\title{Sweave Example 1}
\author{Friedrich Leisch}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
In this example we embed parts of the examples from the
\texttt{kruskal.test} help page into a \LaTeX{} document:
=
data(airquality)
library(ctest)
kruskal.test(Ozone ~ Month, data = airquality)
@
which shows that the location parameter of the Ozone
distribution varies significantly from month to month. Finally we
include a boxplot of the data:
\begin{center}
fig=TRUE,echo=FALSE=
boxplot(Ozone ~ Month, data = airquality)
@
\end{center}
\end{document}
'ctest' was a package that was merged into the 'stats' package in R version
1.9.0, which was released back in 2004. So it would appear that Fritz (cc'd
here) has not updated the examples to reflect that change.
A simple fix would be to remove the 'library(ctest)' line from the file.
If you look at:
require(utils)
?Sweave
there are some examples of using both internal and external R commands to
process the file into a PDF. Sweave itself just generates the TeX source file
(.tex), which then requires a LaTeX installation to process that file into the
PDF (or EPS as may be required).
I would also be sure to review ?RweaveLatex for more information, including
some potential environment issues that you may have to address in the Details
section. Fritz' Sweave FAQ and manual on his site are also good references as
may be required.
Presuming that you have LaTeX installed on your computer, the easiest thing to
do may to use:
pdflatex YourFileName.tex
at the command line, to process the resultant TeX file into a PDF. The steps
can be a bit more complicated if you are using any LaTeX packages that might
require the intermediate creation of a DVI and PS file. That would include
packages such as PSTricks, etc.

That error message indicates that you attempted to load a package
('ctest') that is not installed. Normally, you would just need to
install the package using the install.package() command. However, there
is (no longer) a ctest package to install. Digging through the email
archives, it appears to have been merged into the stats package back in
version 1.9.0. So you can just delete the library(ctest) line in the
Rnw file.
You can search for examples that are more recent; this one must have
been from before April 2004 (when R 1.9.0 was released). Though I don't
blame you for being confused; I would also have expected the examples on
what seems to be the canonical homepage to work and not be out-of-date.
Also while I'm at it, is there an R command to compile the tex file as a
pdf or does the Sweave() function do that for me?
Check out the texi2dvi() function in the tools package. If you want a
PDF, be sure to use the pdf option.

The patchDVI package on R-forge includes functions to process (possibly
multiple) Sweave inputs into .pdf or .dvi files.
E.g.
SweavePDF(Example.Rnw)
