Andreas, I am late with this but in case it might help, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 this weekend and used "apt-get install emacs" and "apt-get install ess" to place Emacs version 22.2.1 and ess 5.3.9. Simple tests seemed to indicate that menus come up, R files load, and code could be executed, as expected.
I did however have to point to /hardy repositories for my CRAN mirror, since the /intrepid directory was at R version 2.7.1, at least as of this past Sunday Nov 2 ET USA. Hope that helps, Bill Bill Pikounis Statistician On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 12:22, Martin Maechler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Andreas, > >>>>>> "AW" == Andreas Wittmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>>> on Sun, 2 Nov 2008 01:44:58 -0800 (PST) writes: > > AW> Dear R useRs, yesterday i updated my system from ubuntu > AW> 8.04 to 8.10.
