Alex, This query belongs on the ESS list ess-h...@r-project.org Please place any followup questions there.
You seem to have accepted the default location of R, so ESS should just work. The only line you need in ~/.emacs is (require 'ess-site) The other lines you mention cause interference and should not be there. I assume you have 32-bit windows since you mentioned i386/ but did not mention x64/ The i386/Rterm.exe and x64/Rterm.exe are the relevant executable files. ESS will find them. It is possible that you have other lines in your .emacs or in your site-start.el files and they are causing trouble. Start emacs without any initialization files emacs -Q And then manually load the ess-site.el file. Please report back to the ESS mailing list Rich On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 4:23 PM, Alex Olssen <alex.ols...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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.
