The usual recipe is to start with emacs -q and then evaluate (package-initialize) (require 'ess-site) in the scratch buffer, then check to see if you can reproduce the bug. If you have ESS installed in a way that it is not in your load-path by default you may have to do something along the lines of (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/ESS/lisp/") (load "ess-site") Best, Ista > > I gather there is a way of applying individual lines of the .emacs > files but a bear with a small brain doesn't know how to do that (or > where to look in the manual how to do it), > > It would appear, if it doesn't reproduce, that the problem is > somewhere in my .emacs file.
