Actually,  I goofed, because that file contains the lines:
Version: \tab \Sexpr{packageDescription("genefu")$Version}\cr
Date: \tab \Sexpr{packageDescription("genefu")$Date}\cr

And those lines require you to have the 'genefu' package installed.
 I changed those lines to more innocuous \Sexprs:

Version: \tab \Sexpr{cat("hello")}\cr
Date: \tab \Sexpr{cat("world")}\cr

Yes, that's what I think is happening.

Thanks very much!

I added the --no-clean flag and still got no .tex file. Here is my new
error output, looks the same as the original error output.

Thanks,
