similar to: ESS with Xemacs? [vs. Emacs, slightly off topic]

As a user of only R, I don't use much of the potential of ESS and Emacs. Without entering a religious feud, is there any reason I should use XEmacs rather than my current GNU Emacs? (I looked on the XEmacs site, but I didn't understand the programming issues they were talking about (over my head).) Martin Henry H.

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

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

Dear list, Not strictly R ... In R on Xemacs with ESS (R-2.0.1, Xemacs-21.4.15-r3, ESS-5.2.6) on gentoo-linux when I use k<-edit(k) or fix(k) to change a small vector k <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6) the opened window (called '6b8b4567') appears not to be connected to the gnuclient and I'm able to edit the file but has no instructions in the minibuffer and C-x # gives '6b8b4567 does

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:

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

I'm trying to get R and ESS to work with Xemacs on a newly installed SuSE 9.0 system. Is some setup required beyond installing the rpms? I've installed the Xemacs packages from SuSE xemacs-info-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-el-20030629-37 xemacs-21.4.13-35 xemacs-el-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-info-20030629-37 xemacs-packages-20030629-37 ess-5.2.0beta3-1.i586.rpm

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

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?

Hi there; I have the following problem --- Xemacs cannot correctly parse a path to file when I load it. I have the following error, reported by Xemacs: from ess-parse-errors: Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open file `u:US-mortalityjuttalexible.r While the correct file path should be: u:\US-mortality\jutta\flexible.r Any ideas? Many thanks for your help. -Serge

Hi, I see there are some previous threads on gnuclient.exe, but I can't figure this out based on those... I recently started using ESS with Xemacs. I'm on Windows XP. On starting iESS, my editor gets set to 'gnuclient.exe'. I don't understand how this works, since there is no executable anywhere on my machine called "gnuclient.exe". But I have no complaints: I like

Dear list members, I've had helpful feedback from a number of people, several of whom experienced some problems getting my XEmacs/ESS configuration files for Windows to work properly. I will, of course, make changes based on this feedback, but the following information may be of use in the interim: (1) It's clear that my instructions and installation procedure were insufficiently

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

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

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]]

I'm a rank beginner with R, and I'm stumped at how to get it to work with Xemacs under Windows XP. I'm afraid there are some VERY basic questions I have here. Yes, I did read http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/readme.html. Both R and Xemacs are installed and working. The current ess files are installed in a subdirectory of my Xemacs directory. I added the R bin directory to my

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
