[ESS] ess-error: ESS process not ready. Wasn't there a fix for this? Make Sweave -> pdflatex work. Help?

[Paul Johnson]

I need to know why  the rest of you don't see "ESS process not ready"
if you do things in the way Martin describes. See below

When I try this Martin's way, I end up with the same error I get when
I use the pull down menus.

The Emacs minibuffer says

ess-error: ESS process not ready. Finish your command before trying again.

It appears to me the pull down menu Noweb -> Sweave,Tangling -> Sweave
is exactly the same as "M-n s".

Emacs "messages" buffer says:

no ESS processes running; starting R
Type C-h m for help on ESS version 5.13
(No changes need to be saved)
Sweave()ing "/home/pauljohn/ps/SVN-repo/Rcourse/data-1/data1.Rnw"
ess-error: ESS process not ready. Finish your command before trying again.
