similar to: Re: ESS for R

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) ;;

One thing that has driven me batty to no end is the fact that ESS doesn't handle R's "exit" well. Any thoughts as to the default? I'm thinking of something like: current: do what currently is done C-u Y C-c C-q : quit and save workspace C-u N C-c C-q : quit and don't save workspace. Comments? best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch.

Hi to all who suffer from rterm not shutting down in xemacs/ESS on windows NT or 2000. Also hi to those who could eventually help. Here is some more information which could help and some ENCOURAGEMENT to contribute to a solution. 1. It may be an xemacs problem but it is more likely an interaction between rterm/comint/and xemacs. In fact, the problem started occurring around version R 1.6.0. I

Is there a simple way to determine at run-time the directory with HTML version of help pages? (to see where I'm heading here, if you've got w3 installed under (X)Emacs on Unix _or_ a Microsoft OS, do w3-find-file and load $(R_HOME)/library/html/whateverfunction.html It's slightly nicer than the standard ESS text-help. best, -tony -- A.J.

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 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 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

Since it of partially related interest here: The Emacs Statistical System (Emacs Speaks Statistics) WWW site, along with all of the content formerly on software.biostat.washington.edu, is moving with me to a new location, http://www.analytics.washington.edu/ with ESS specifically moving to http://www.analytics.washington.edu/Zope/wikis/ess/ It isn't really done, but should be by a

You can use ESS and either XEmacs 21.0 (currently wrapping up beta) or NTEmacs, or Emacs(FSF) to edit files. IF the mingwin(?) or cygwin versions of R allow for command-line prompts rather than

The following becomes more and more a topic for an R mailing list, possibly R-devel.

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

Object name completion doesn't work on linux. On S+6 the problem seems to be that ESS uses the argument `inherits' and S+6 is expecting `inherit' .

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
