> Hi all, > I'm updating ESS by installing from source. I uncommented the MacOS related lines from makeconfig, but I get this error: I think you mean ess/Makeconf, right? In there, indeed it uses things like PREFIX=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs >> make > /bin/sh: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs: No such file or directory and obviously your Emacs is not at the above 'EMACS=....' location. I have no make at disposal, but maybe a Mac user can help: Where is your Emacs installing into? > ********************* VERSIONS ************************** > ESS 24.01.1 > ESSR 1.8 > sed: 1: "lisp/ess-custom.el": extra characters at the end of l command > make: *** [version] Error 1 > This error appears to be related to the fact that the BSD sed on Mac is different than the GNU sed. hmm.. our Makefile only uses pretty basic 'sed' calls; hence I'm not sure. Also strange that the error messages end with "end of l command" -- in the few sed uses in our Makefile/Makeconf I only see versions of sed s/.../ or sed "s| ...|p" i.e., not "l command".. > I looked for a similar issue on GitHub but didn't find anything. Would installing the whole bundle Emacs+ESS+{more} from Vincent Goulet's website, mentioned at https://ess.r-project.org/ i.e. https://ess.r-project.org/index.php?Section=download be an option: For a few years now it's been as https://emacs-modified.gitlab.io/ then for macOS at https://emacs-modified.gitlab.io/macos/ however that currently is not using the latest ESS version (but something quite close to it). Still agree that would be a workaround, and we should try to ensure that macOS users can install ESS from the sources. I have started to recommend installing the 'ess' package > Thanks, > Liz > ______________________________________________ > ESS-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help ______________________________________________ ESS-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
