Hi Duncan
Thank you for the tips
I tried
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
but it still bailed up.
tried showNonASCII on the file with the ° typed
as Alt-248 (used to doing as DOS value)
becomes Alt-176 in ASCII
% 1° line
resulted in
483: % 1<b0> line
The showNonASCII is a nifty function

I had the same problem! So, as I'm a linux user,
I prefer use linux terminal. On terminal I type this to compile
R CMD Sweave --encoding=utf-8 myfile.Rnw
and the compilation is successful. Try to set
the encoding option in Sweave().
Bests.

Hi Walmes
Thank you very much. That appears to be the problem.
When I typed from the DOS terminal
R CMD Sweave --encoding=utf-8 ParasiteComb12.Rnw
it compiled the tex file without any error messages.
I have not really got into font encoding and
reading the Sweave manual I thought that what I had done would be sufficient.
I found an old note which gave a reference to
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4725.html
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4889.html
but that appears to be specific.
The ?Sweave and the Sweave manual appear to be
more specific about the latex side.
After having a look at iconvlist() and bearing
in mind Duncan Murdoch's comments about windows I tried
Sweave("D:/Cic/Sweave/Parasite/Comb/12/ParasiteComb12.Rnw",
encoding = "UTF-8")
from the Rgui command window and compiled without any problems
When I had a look at the tex file there were a
few DOS Alt-248 (degree symbol ) within latex
comments which were added last running R2.14 before updating
That doesn't sound like UTF-8 encoding, it
sounds like Latin-1. So declaring it to be
UTF-8 will eventually cause you some problems,
when you put some of those characters in a place
that LaTeX processes. You can avoid the problem
by putting this line in your Rnw file:
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
as the ?Sweave help page says. Or, just delete
those non-ASCII characters. There's a function
in the tools package to detect them: see ?tools::showNonASCII.
Duncan Murdoch
Removing them and re running without the encoding
argument brought things back to normal.
I tried as a test
\SweaveOpts{encoding="UTF8"}
but that appears not to work
All I have to do now is to put the extra argument
into my text editors clip library for Sweave for
next time when I cannot solve things.
Its been a long week !
