Sweave and accented letters

That is exactly what I thought I would do. But the problem persist.

In the document below I have added ?"\inputencoding utf8", yet LyX
fails to compile.

Yihui is probably right that this is a question about Lyx, not R, but one
other thing you can try is to check the encoding of the file you're working
with. ?Are you sure it is UTF-8? ?Your message encoding is "iso-8859-1", a
pretty common encoding to use on Windows, it is not UTF-8. ?I don't know how
to tell Lyx you are using that, but if you can figure that out, I'd try it.

It might be better to post it to the LyX mailing list
(lyx-users at lists.lyx.org) since you are using LyX. Anyway, the problem
came from Sweave: you did not tell us your R version, and I suppose
you are using the latest version of R (2.14.0). There are two ways of
telling Sweave your UTF8 encoding (see ?Sweave); one of them is via
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}. In LyX, you need to set the document
encoding to "Unicode (utf8)" in Document
Settings-->Language-->Encoding. The next version of LyX (2.0.2) will
address this issue better.

I often use Lyx/Sweave and I typically write in english.

Today I had to write a document in Italian and, as many of you know,
many italian popular words use ?, ?, ?. ?, etc.

I discovered that if I type in Italian (that is there is at least one
letter with accent) ?with the Sweave module selected lye is not able
to correctly compile the document.

I tried to change the input encoding, but it still does not work. I am
attaching a basic lye file that illustrates the problem.
