Just tried a similar thing on my computer at work: WinXP, emacs-22.3.1, org-mode 7.7. I tried both R and python. With this in my .emacs file:
;; active Babel languages (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((R . t) (python . t) )) Here are the contents of the org file I am playing with: #+begin_src R rnorm(10) #+end_src #+begin_src python print "Hello, World!" #+end_src C-c C-c the first block results in a message like this: Evaluate this R code block on your system? (yes or no) Answering yes yields: No org-babel-execute function for R! Trying the same in the python block yields the same results, except with "python" substituted for "R" in all the messages. Any suggestions where I am going wrong? Thanks. --Chris Ryan
