Fedora Linux 8
R 2.6.1
Intel CPU
I am trying to get started with R under Linux. It has been suggested to me that
I run R under EMACS. I have looked at the CRAN website, and several other places
to try to find an RPM for EMACS and, if I need it for ESS. I have not succeeded
in finding one. Can someone tell me where to go to get the RPMs? If anyone would
have a suggestion for an editor other than EMACS to use with R, I would
appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
John

Hi John, I've used Emacs + ESS under Fedora since Core 1 and the easiest way I found to install it was to follow the instructions on the ESS web-page. This had the downside of actively having to be involved with updating to later versions of ESS, so it was a nice surprise to find that ESS is available in Fedora and can be installed by yum or Pirut (the strange front end for package management in Fedora). The package you want is emacs-ess (byte compiled files to run ESS), and there is emacs-ess-el (for the ESS elisp sources) if you need it. The easiest way to install it is to open a terminal and type: su -c "yum install emacs-ess" and enter the root password when prompted. In the main I am very happy with Emacs + ESS in Fedora, but the one niggle in my day-to-day use is that "it" is slow when sourcing code from a buffer to the R buffer. IIRC this has something to do with the code highlighting in the R buffer as turning this off sped things up.
