[R] Installing ESS under EMACS

[Yvonnick Noël]

Thank you for these informations (and thanks to all of you who gave me useful indications). I don't want to use bandwith with this, since this is not the list where to discuss it. I just want to say, in case other Windows users would be interested, that the VIM free editor (http://www.vim.org) , which has syntax highlighting features for S, is a good alternative to EMACS (which is wonderful, but probably best to use under Linux/Unix). I haven't made clear if I can launch Rterm from it, but it is at least useful for its (fully programmable) editing features (I am not the author!). 

I also want to add that I discovered R quite recently, and am impressed by its power. I am spending the rest of my holidaytime to port my progs to R ! Thanks to the dev team.

Y. Noel.

Had a similar problem. I don't know which version of ESS you use, but the
one I copied had a few bugs. There are a few adjustments you may wish to
make in the ess-site.el file. If you do this, use (compile?)-buffer in the
emacs menus. This should give you indications on whether the file is loaded
correctly. If there is no nasty message it's OK, but likely it will complain
about a missing ). You can find that missing ) by selecting region after
region and (compile?)-region. If I remember right, one bug is in a file
called by ess-site.el, the other one in ess-site.el itself. Playing the game
evaluating the lisp will help you learn about lisp add-ons to emacs. Chris.

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 my
autoexec.bat, but this does not seem to have any effect. 

As I am no expert at Lisp (nor at EMACS), could somebody be so kind as to
tell me what are the (probably very simple) manipulations to do to have all
this work?

Thanks a lot in advance,
