similar to: XEmacs vs. GNU Emacs?

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

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 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

> Linux (?) Windows(?) I mean in the Windows environment. > I'm using under linux and the same installation worked for both, emacs and > xemacs. > P.J. I am trying to use on ESS win XEmacs on Windows, but I don't know how to tell XEmacs that use the ESS, I don't found the .emacs file and the system don't let me create such a file. Thank you for your help. Kenneth

I am having some trouble getting reftex, in particular the bibtex related features, to work properly in xemacs when editing text in Sweave files. I have added (defun Rnw-mode () (noweb-mode) (if (fboundp 'R-mode) (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode))) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" . Rnw-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist

I have a small request re. R FAQ Frequently Asked Questions on R Version 1.5-10, 2002-06-13 ISBN 3-901167-51-X Kurt Hornik In section 6.2 Should I run R from within Emacs? The faq says "Yes, definitely." This led me to install emacs, and to install ess. However, I use a windows environment (mswindows2000) and I had some difficulty installing, linking and launching these

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

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,

Dear R users, I have to catch a nasty bug and would appreciate any advice or help! I get a segfault (core dumped) that happens in one of my own functions. The problem is, it does not happen most of the time, only sometimes, so it's very hard to reproduce. Or it may run ok in interactive mode, but bug out in batch mode. Also, it tends to happen more on the slower of my 2 machines (PII 266),

Hi All, I would like to use anonymous cvs, but it appears not to be working (again?). There was a discussion back in Jan-Feb about whether to continue supporting it, but it seemed that Tony Rossini got it working and the discussion left off there. Did someone decide to disable it, or is it just not working properly? Here's the details: $ cvs -d

In "Frequently Asked Questions on R" there is a section "Debugging R from within Emacs" I suppose this is for developpers ( not useful to debug R source code ). Am I right?

Dear R and ESS users, I got the following error when trying to load a source file (smart.R in directory E:\R\) into XEmacs through the menu iESS and "Load source file": Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file `E:Rsmart.R' It seems the slash "/" or "\" being missing, but I don't know

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 R users, I ran into this curious problem: > d <- rnorm(100) > d.density <- density(d) > sum( d.density$x * d.density$y) [1] 2.517502 Admittedly the method of computing the mass under the density curve at line 3 is crude. But 2.5 is pretty far from 1, the value it should be. I tried a few other dataset and got similar result. Am I missing something obvious? Or is the return

Dear R-help, I would like to use R 1.3.0 under emacs-20.7. with the help of ess-5.1.19 in the windows system. I downloaded the ess-5.1.19 and tried to follow instructions strictly. 1. cd to a directory where you keep emacs lisp files -------------> no question 2. Retrieve the compressed the zipped file `ESS-5.1.19.zip' from one of the FTP. -------------> no question

Duncan - (but sent to R-devel, for any other thoughts?) How do you envision RSPerl being used? Without having seen the details, I can think of playing with strings; is there a preferred incantation for stringification of R objects (serialization)? (actually, the main problem I'm having is that I know how I want to code something like: Robject <-
