Dear All, Is there a emacs/xemacs for unix without compiling it? If it is possible, I prefer something that I can use immediately after putting it on the unix server. Is it possible or am I too stupid to ask this kind of question? Thanks for your insight! -- ==============================WenSui Liu ChoicePoint Precision Marketing Phone: 678-893-9457 Email : wensui.liu at choicepoint.com Blog : statcompute.spaces.live.com

[R] [OT] emacs / xemacs for unix without compile
I don't know what unix you're using, but if it's fedora 8, the command yum install emacs did the trick for me. You probably need to have root (a.k.a. superuser) privileges to do that. If you like to use ESS with emacs to edit R scripts, yum install emacs-ess My guess is this would work for any Red Hat linux, but I don't know. -Ben> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] > On Behalf Of Wensui Liu > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 3:22 PM > To: r-help at r-project.org > Subject: [R] [OT] emacs / xemacs for unix without compile > > Dear All, > Is there a emacs/xemacs for unix without compiling it?

But judging by http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/11/Unix-history.svg having emacs on any of these unix systems should be possible. Well, even Minix 3 says to have emacs included (http://www.minix3.org/software/). HTH, Roland
