Colleagues
Some time ago I asked about tab complete functionality for R under
ESS on windows. I never got it working as well as I might have liked until
today. It is still slow the first time while all the environments are checked
but after that it works well.
The solution below might usefully go in the R-tips
<http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/statsRus.html>.
**** Please note: credit goes to my colleague, Michael Manning, not to
me, especially if you do put this in R-tips *****
Here is the fix, in Martin's words:
------------------------------------
The lines you need to change are in the file "ess-inf.el". You should
be able to find this file inside the lisp directory inside your ess
directory, e.g.
"c:\Program Files\XEmacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\ess-5.1.21\lisp"
You need to replace the line (comment out with ;;;)
"(ess-command (format inferior-ess-load-command filename)
errbuffer)"
with the lines
"(ess-command (format inferior-ess-load-command
(let ((directory-sep-char ?/))
(expand-file-name filename)))
errbuffer)"
and things should be sweet. NOTE: this works for ESS 5.1.21 or 5.1.20
(and R 1.4.1) under the win32 port of XEmacs 21.4.1. It also works for
GNU Emacs as the problem is in ESS, not (X)Emacs.
