I can't imagine using Windows without Emacs. In particular, the Windows ports of Emacs are very aware of the operating system and usually make the right assumptions. The type of behavior you are noticing can probably be cured by typing C-g in the *R* buffer in emacs. The most likely cause is that the R process in Emacs is waiting for the plot to finish and is querying the plotting device.

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

Hi all Just this morning I upgraded to R 2.12.0 (for Mac OS X 10.6.4). All went well until I needed to run a help() or help.search() in my session, which I'm running within Emacs (ESS 5.3.7). Say I need help with the command 'density'. When I type help(density) or ?density the ESS help buffer opens, it is titled *help[R](density)* but it contains only a couple of lines saying,

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 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-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

I can't get Emacs to automatically do syntax highlighting of Sweave files. I have followed Friedrich's suggestion for code to insert into my .emacs file. The complete section from my .emacs file is given below. When I load a *.Snw file, font is white until I press M-x, then the first code and document chunks get highlighted, but not the rest of the file. Latex and Noweb menus are

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

Hello, JIT compiler interferes with internal R completions: compiler::enableJIT(2) utils:::functionArgs("density", '') gives: utils:::functionArgs("density", '') Note: no visible global function definition for 'bw.nrd0' Note: no visible global function definition for 'bw.nrd' Note: no visible global function definition for 'bw.ucv'

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

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 don't understand the advantages of generating html help dynamically, but I have found some clear disadvantages. One is that I can no longer use a bookmark in my browser to access the list of packages and go from there to individual help pages. The other is that, if I try to use ESS instead (using options(help_type="html") in .Rprofile) - it is a mess. ESS splits the emacs frame

Hi folks, Debian 504 64-bit I found following document; http://www.biostat.wisc.edu/~kbroman/Rintro/ Whether it is the right document for installing Emacs+ESS and R so that R can run on Emacs? TIA B.R. Stephen L

Which is the best editor for .R files? I currently use kate on my linux as it has R highlighting and allows me to split the window into two: in one I edit the .R file and in the other I have a shell so I run R and can easily copy and paste the code. There are some features that I don't like and I am having a look on some alternatives. I've heard wonders of emacs with ess but I am a

I am running ess/emacs on Linux and have an R instance running on a remote Unix server. I would like to be able to direct input from my ess buffer to R (hope I am using the right lingo, I am new to emacs). The ess manual contains a section describing how to do just that, but a prerequisite is to install a lisp file ssh.el , which can be found 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

Hi all, I want to apologise first for being a beginner with linux/emacs/ess; I am pretty good with R ;). I have R-1.9.1 installed on my directory of a linux server, I also have ess 5.2.8 installed there as well. When I call R using (C-u M-x R) in emacs, i receive the following error [no match]. I was wondering if emacs is not looking for ess in the right place (if there is something i have to
