Sweave() is a function in package "utils", which you session info
indicates you have and is loaded.

Care to tell us what you want to do with Sweave and why you think it
isn't working?

Oops - this is embarrassing!

I promise I have done a lot of research before I posted the question but I got 
the info wrong and didn't realize that it's a function, rather than a package...

Sweave.sty is not in my latex folder, will take care of that right now (I thought an 
"installation" would be the right way to get that done!) and keep quiet if 
thinks work nicely after that.

You shouldn't do that. It will work until Sweave.sty is updated, then cause you hard-to-debug problems.

Use R utilities (e.g. tools::texi2dvi, or ones from a contributed package) to run latex, and they will point to the current Sweave.sty. If you put a copy of Sweave.sty into your latex installation, in a few months you'll have an obsolete version, and things will just not work.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction (also to Hung Min)

Hi there!

I tried to work with Sweave, assuming that it is part of the standard
installation - which it was not for my system. Trying to install, it
gives me this error message:
