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

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

Hello list, I have encountered a problem trying to save graphs using the R-graphics menu: File|Save as. The menu suggests that files may be saved as either Metafile, Postscript, pdf, png, bmp, jpeg. When I specify any of those file formats a menu comes up requesting a file name. After providing a name R invariably hangs and has to be restarted. I am able to save files under the various

Dear members, I have spent some time to make clear how I could write R programs from within EMACS using the ESS package, under Win98. Unfortunately, I have found this not quite clear for Windows 98 (though a lot of details are provided for UNIX). I have tried to create a .emacs file with a command such as (load "PATH/ess-site.el") and also added a "PATH=...\rw1010\" line in

I am running R.exe/Rterm.exe 2.7.1 under Emacs 22.1 under the DOS shell under Windows XP. (My Cygwin installation is broken!) I am not currently using ESS: > R.exe --vanilla R version 2.7.1 ... ... > 1+1 2 This works fine until I hit an R error -- pretty much any error -- when the process halts and returns to the shell: Wrong number of arguments error: > quote()

I can''t start r inside of emacs. When I try it says that it cannot find .Rhistory and then it says " This program ( pressumably Rterm) has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.". How can I fix this problem? [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

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

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

I've been having problems with Rterm.exe not shutting down when I exit an R (1.7.0 and 1.7.1) session from within emacs when using ESS. I've just upgraded to 5.1.24 and still have the same problems. I'm running ntemacs and winxp. I don't recall having these troubles with version 1.6.2 of R. Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald and Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon

Hi, I don't use Windows as my primary OS anymore, so didn't notice this until recently. In R-2.10.0 under Windows useFancyQuotes is FALSE by default, but this doesn't seem to affect the rendering of (text) help pages. This is not a problem if I run via the Rgui or Rterm (via DOS prompt), as the help pages are rendered in a popup window that understands directional quotes.

R 2.15.2 installed as a regular user on Windows 7. Three issues: 1. There is a start menu item for "R 2.15.2 Help" that opens a local web page. If I click on packages, then base, then abbreviate I get "Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/rdboylan/Documents/R/R-2.15.2/library/base/html/abbreviate.html." The page before, which did display, was

I have started using R 1.5.0 on Windows 2000. The refinement of this system in such a short time is astounding, and I thank those who have worked on it and made it available! I have been using rterm.exe to develop R scripts in my preferred editor (not emacs) by sending the command rterm.exe --save < %f where the editor substitutes the filename for %f. This works wonderfully, and the

Dear R users, Does anyone notice that Rterm.exe does not work well with rxvt.exe, an xterm emulator for Cygwin? It produces an error message window with the following message: This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor It also prints "Signal 127" in rxvt window. Rterm --ess, however, works.

Dear R-experts, I run R in a shell under Emacs on Win2k using ESS. I get the following strange error > shell("copy c:\\file.txt c:\\newfile.txt") warning: extra args ignored after 'copy' Forkert syntaks for kommandoen. Warning message: cmd execution failed with error code 1 in: shell("copy c:\\file.txt c:\\newfile.txt") The same problem emerges independently of

I'm using R with emacs & ESS on Windows. When I create a plot, sometimes R will seem to get stuck in a busy loop, i.e. it will use 100% of my CPU. However the system is still somewhat responsive, and the problem usually goes away if I create a new device with windows(). If I then close this device, making the first device active again, sometimes R will get stuck in the busy loop again.

R and DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) Dear Rusers, I run an application (not mine) which acts as a DDE server. I would like to use R to get data from this application, say once per minute, and do some processing on it. I didn't find much info on the R DDE abilities, apart the tcltk2 package in which I will try to go deeper. I would be very thankful for any info, pointer or advice about the

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
