Right now I always get an "Undefined control sequence" error from the latex compiler since Sweave is not replacing the \Sexpr{} command at all. I know that this is no problem when I add the above option. I looked at the ess-swv.el file but could figure out how to add an option. It would be great if someone had a hint towards the solution for me.

Typically, when the \Sexpr's are not being evaluated, that is being replaced with a scalar, it is an indication that the sweave.sty file is not being found, as it is in that file, that the relevant code is located.

You can either manually add the \usepackage{PATH.TO.SWEAVE/Sweave.sty} directive to your .Rnw file's preamble, or see the Details section of ?RweaveLatex for information on other configuration options.
