On stock Debian and Ubuntu system with the disto's versions of R and TeX, Sweave "just works". If you choose to go another route, you get to pick up the pieces yourself. For the record: edd@max:~$ dpkg -L r-base-core | grep Sweave.sty /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/Sweave.sty edd@max:~$ dpkg -L r-base-core | grep "tex/latex" /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/Sweave.sty /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/ts1aer.fd /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/omscmtt.fd /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/omsaett.fd /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/ts1aett.fd /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/omsaer.fd /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/jss.cls /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/Rd.sty /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/upquote.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/R edd@max:~$ ls -l /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex total 36 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-11-18 11:39 beamer drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 2010-05-09 19:35 lm drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 2011-11-18 11:39 pgf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-05-14 09:06 preview drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-05-06 23:26 prosper lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2009-10-13 20:56 R -> ../../../R/share/texmf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-05-06 23:34 tipa drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-05-06 23:26 xcolor edd@max:~$ ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex and that symlink which places the 'R' directory into texlive's default search path is added by the R package I maintain.
