Hello, please excuse me if this is not the appropriate mailing list, but I'll give it a try! I recently switched from using Emacs 20.7.1 to XEmacs 21.4, both on cygwin / MS W2K. On Emacs the ESS 5.1.17 was working well, but now, when calling R from within XEmacs, it first asks for the working directory, then says "R process is not running". The ESS buffer holds the message: "WARNING: unknown option --no-readline Fatal error: you must specify `--save', `--no-save' or `--vanilla' Process R exited abnormally with code 2 at Sat Jun 9 23:51:45 2001". Any ideas? Thanks, Mirko. -- Dr. M.

The rw-FAQ says: 2.8 Can I use rw1023 with ESS and emacs? ======================================= Yes. The latest versions of ESS (e.g. 5.1.18) come with support for this version of R, and there is support for interrupting the R process from ESS (by `C-c C-c'). For help with ESS, please send email to <ESS-help at stat.ethz.ch>, not the R mailing lists. This is particular true here, where the problem must be with something other than R as that worked under (I presume) NTemacs 20.7. -- Brian D.

[...] Mirko> "WARNING: unknown option --no-readline Fatal error: you must specify Mirko> `--save', `--no-save' or `--vanilla' I did a similar upgrade on Friday. Modify lisp/essd-r.el at line 119 from (let* ((r-always-arg (if (or (equal window-system 'w32) (equal window-system 'win32)) "--ess " "--no-readline ")) to (let* ((r-always-arg "--ess ") Ie, it should unconditionally give the --ess switch as under Cygwin the test for W32 leads to --no-readline which the Rterm.exe doesn't understand. Note that this is untested as I am at home where I use a more pleasant operating system. Best to edit the file in XEmacs to make sure the parens balance. Hope this helps, Dirk -- According to the latest figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
