1) I installed the latest ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) beta release on a machine running Linux. Since there is no S-PLUS product for Linux, I set the ess-site.el file for R, xlisp-stat, and S version 4. I.e., ;; (1.5) Require the needed dialects for your setup. ;;(require 'essd-s+3) (require 'essd-r) (require 'essd-xls) ;;(require 'essd-sas) ;;(require 'essd-s3) ;;

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

I'm trying to use ESS & xemacs under debian linux testing and KDE. My problem is that I didn't find any document in the internet explaining a **step by step** session with R and xemacs. The (wrong) procedure I follow (to no avail!) is: 1) I start R in a terminal window; 2) I start xemacs and open a file with the extension .R (test.R); 3) I issue M-x R RET and I can see an Rd new

I really don't think this is an R bug; sorry if I've got it wrong twice within a week. Using rw0632 on NT 4.0, I can get R running quite happily under ESS 5.1.3. However, whenever I use help(), although I do get the required help in a split screen, I also get the minibuffer error message: wrong argument type: processp, nil Note: I get this under ESS 5.0 as well. I could live with this,

I have been using the document written by John Fox titled Sn Introduction to ESS + XEmacs for Windows Users of R. It's a very nice document and I went through it carefully but I got an error when I finished it and launched XEmacs. The error is "cannot open load file : ess-site". So, I did more investigation and it seems like there is a folder Program

I'm trying to get R, Sweave, ESS and XEmacs or emacs all installed and working together on my Windows XP Pro system. I've got R 2.6.0 working just fine, installed from the R Windows installer. I also have CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with XEmacs 21.4 working okay. Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to bring these together so that R code typed in Xemacs can be run in R? I found the ESS

Hi all, I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, but I am trying to configure emacs/ess on Ubuntu 8.04 to run the way described for ESS and Xemacs in Windows (John Fox's guide). I installed ess as directed at http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ . Under Windows I could use Emacs/ess fine (but I am obviously a novice at emacs), but am having trouble doing so in Ubuntu. At

Hi, I try to use Emacs or XEmacs with R in a MacOS X Panter without X11. Anybody can make this work? How?

I repeat my emails of 11/15/01 and 2/26/02, since it looks like this ESS bug is still not fixed in ESS 5.1.23, and I think some resolution is needed. When help() is invoked, ESS makes a copy of .Last.value in the .GlobalEnv, which is *not* where R normally stores it (R stores it in package:base). When this copy becomes stale it leads to wrong answers. The bug is in essd-r.el, lines 63-64:

Hi I heard so much about Emacs and ESS that I decided to try it out - but I am stuck at the beginning. Is there anywhere a beginners manual for Emacs & ESS to be used with R? even M-x S tells me it can't start S-Plus - obviously - but I want it to start R... Any help welcome (otherwise I will be stuck with Eclipse and R) Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys. (Germany), MSc

I decided to try out Xemacs instead of Emacs in Linux (RH 7.2). After doing lots of configuration of Xemacs, I finally discovered a major problem. With Emacs, when I use R, I start Emacs twice (at least), in different viewports, once as emacs -f R and once as emacs myfile.R Then I try commands in the first one, and, when they work (which isn't very often), I cut the command with C-w,

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an R problem, a Debian problem, a GNU Emacs problem or an ESS problem. I get the following warning the first time I call help on a command in a session, for example: > ?sessionInfo Warning message: use of NULL environment is deprecated This only occurs in GNU Emacs, not when running R from bash, and not with Xemacs. It started happening when I updated R

On RedHat linux 7.2, I upgraded (?) Emacs and R at the same time and now I'm getting some funny business with R and ESS. I reinstalled ESS from the tarball and re-byte-compiled. In particular, help.start() does work, and ESS works to send text regions to the R process, but ?function does not return anything, and the status line says "ESS process not ready. Finish your command

Hi folks, I was able to track down the problems I had with xemacs / ESS / cygwin / MS W2000 to the file "essd-r.el" in the ESS 5.1.18 package. ESS seems to think, it is running in a complete Unix environment and sends the wrong command line option ("--no-readline" instead of "--ess") to the MS W2000 executable "Rterm.exe". My temporary patch looks

After the discussions about appropriate editors under Windows to use with R, I have managed to install Emacs, XEmacs, and ESS under WinNT 4.0, and these work fine. It's not necessary to compile anything to use R with ESS, just to install Emacs and ESS, and do a few modifications in some files. XEmacs is also easy to install but apparently ESS cannot run with it (confirmed by a message by Tony

Hi Everyone, I am a beginner running R 2.9.2 under Ubuntu and typically use Emacs w/ESS. However, I am confused with history() command. When I issue command history() in Emacs within an R session, this is what get: > history() Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save Similarly, history(max=10) command gives the same error message. However, there is this In/Out Menu in the

Hi, I decided to try emacs and ess with R, but to no avail. How are these things suppose to work with R - or work, period? I downloaded the latest windows versions of each and installed them as the documentation says. But then the documentation for ess says to add (require 'ess-site) to /.emacs and restart emacs. Where is /.emacs???? I opened the ess-site.el file and it also says to

I've searched for 45 minutes, apparently in all the wrong places for a solution to a configuration issue I'm having. When I use Xemacs with ESS running in R-mode, and I type a "-" character, it autocompletes it to "<- ". How do I disable this annoying "feature"? Thanks much. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
