similar to: help manual on R on ESS

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,

I installed R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22) on may macbook (snow leopard) and run R from within emacs Now when I try to get help, I get > ?lm (in the new "help" window) Error in help("lm", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) Help! p.s. I am running: This is GNU Emacs 22.2.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.4.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2008-07-17 on

In a recent post, I reported that help.start worked with Mozilla, although it had not worked before. I now have discovered the difference. I'm using RH Linux 7.1 and Mozilla 0.9.5 and R 1.3.1. When I tried it before, I had use ESS to start R. If I run R without ESS, help.start() will start the browser (Mozilla), but help(apply), for example, will produce help in ESS but not in the browser.

Hi all Apologies if this is a trivial question- I have searched the lists and the online help files etc but have not managed to find anything. I recently downloaded the latest version of R, which has the help type set to htmlhelp as default (according to http://127.0.0.1:18380/library/utils/html/help.html) I would very much like to be able to access the help files when I am offline by typing

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 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

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

Hello, I am forwarding this from ESS mailing list, as it's a failure of internal R completion system: This fails: utils:::.assignLinebuffer('iris[iris$Spec') utils:::.assignEnd(15) utils:::.guessTokenFromLine() utils:::.completeToken() utils:::.retrieveCompletions() ## -> [1] "iris[iris$Spec" This works utils:::.assignLinebuffer('iris[ iris$Spec') # note the

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

Im running R 0.99 on SuSE 6.3 with Linux 2.2.14 and Xemacs 21.1. When I try to compile ESS the processes stops with an error message: Making info file `ess.info' from `ess.texi'. ./newfeat.texi:3: itemize requires an argument: the formatter for @item. ./newfeat.texi:9: itemize requires an argument: the formatter for @item. makeinfo: Removing output file

It does appear the ess package on CRAN for Ubuntu 8.04 fails to install the file 'ess-sas-sh-command'. This prevents invoking SAS via 'M-x SAS'. http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html --Dale On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 12:39 PM, Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa at mcw.edu> wrote: > Dale Steele wrote: >> >> I re-installed from Hardy packages on

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

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

The latest ess and elpa-ess 18.10-1bionic0 packages for ubuntu leave ess unable to find initialization files when it is invoked from R via M-x R. I've found a workaround by creating a soft link: cd /usr/share sudo ln -s /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/ess-18.10 ess but this may be a widespread problem. It appeared on each of the three computers on which I updated the packages, and

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
