similar to: trouble installing ess 13.04 ubuntu package on 64 bit system

The latest ess and elpa-ess 18.10-1bionic0 packages for ubuntu leave ess unable to find initialization files when it is invoked from R via M-x R. I've found a workaround by creating a soft link: cd /usr/share sudo ln -s /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/ess-18.10 ess but this may be a widespread problem. It appeared on each of the three computers on which I updated the packages, and

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

Dear R users, I downloaded an ess-5.2.2 package and hope to use emacs as front to work with R. I modified ~/.emacs and start R by M-x R. But I found when I quited the R session, it still asked me to save the work space or not. I added inferior-R-args with "--save" args. But it seemed that it had no effect. Can you tell me how to pass the arguments other than --no-readline to

Im running R 0.99 on SuSE 6.3 with Linux 2.2.14 and Xemacs 21.1. When I try to compile ESS the processes stops with an error message: Making info file `ess.info' from `ess.texi'. ./newfeat.texi:3: itemize requires an argument: the formatter for @item. ./newfeat.texi:9: itemize requires an argument: the formatter for @item. makeinfo: Removing output file

It does appear the ess package on CRAN for Ubuntu 8.04 fails to install the file 'ess-sas-sh-command'. This prevents invoking SAS via 'M-x SAS'. http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html --Dale On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 12:39 PM, Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa at mcw.edu> wrote: > Dale Steele wrote: >> >> I re-installed from Hardy packages on

Hi! I have R 1.9.1, Mac OS X 10.3.5, GNU Emacs 21.2.1 and ESS 5.2.3. I installed today the ESS by not changing ess-site.el, but creating .emacs in $home with the single line: $ cat ~/.emacs (load "/usr/local/lib/ess-5.2.3/lisp/ess-site") If I start now emacs and then R (with M-x R) then I get: > options(STERM='iESS', editor='emacsclient') but using fix() oder

I am having trouble with ESS+R. I don't know if it is an ESS problem or an R problem, so I'm posting to this mailing list in the first instance. I am using R 1.6.2, Windows XP (latest updates installed), XEmacs 21.4, and ESS 5.1.21. I have experienced the same problem under Windows 2000 and recent versions of Emacs and ESS (though my current Windows XP installation is from scratch, and

Dear All Working along in R (Emacs {Aquamacs}, ESS ) usually I am getting a long R buffer with many rows. To reduce its length, I used to select backwards and delete those unnecessary rows. Now I cannot do that, only C-k allows single lines to be deleted. the mode line says 'Text is read-only *R*>'. Both R and ESS are up to date. Aquamacs 3.3 GNU Emacs 25.1.1

The thread is strange to me as well, since completion is logically impossible for my Sweave files. - an emacs buffer is open working on an .Rnw file - there is no copy of R running anywhere on the machine - the code chunk in the .Rnw file refers to a R data object saved somewhere else Of course it cannot do "name completion" on a bit of code I'm writing, lacking

I'm moving my R applications to a Redhat OS and want to install ESS. My sys admin has downloaded the rpm (emacs-common-ess-5.3.8-1.fc8.src.rpm), but when he tried to do the install he rec'd a number of warnings. We are not sure if the warnings are telling us that the installation did not occur or if other issues are unresolved. We have attempted to find the ESS executable with no luck,

Dear R-help, Apologies if this isn't exactly the right place for this question. I am trying to run R in emacs using ESS. I have done this successfully many times - it works right now on my home computer in windows 7 and in ubuntu. The problem is that when I start emacs the regular splash screen doesn't show. In the mini-buffer I get the message "Finding all versions of R on your

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

Probably wrong group for this, but a quick question. I've just switched from emacs to Xemacs. In reinstalling ESS 5.1.19 I keep getting the following error when loading Xemacs: "Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: w32-using-nt" I've debugged the ess-site.el file, which is where the error originates from. The line causing the difficulty is:

Hi, When I start Xemacs version 21.5.28 (in Unix), using the init.el: (setq bell-volume 0) (setq sound-alist nil) (setq grep-find-use-xargs nil) (require 'ess-site) I get the following error: (1) (initialization/error) An error has occurred while loading $home/.xemacs/init.el: Cannot open load file: "ess-site" Backtrace follows: signal(file-error ("Cannot open
