So just as a reminder: Back in the days of release_7.01h, the following used to work: ,------------------------------------------ | #+begin_src sh :dir /loris@othercomputer: | hostname | #+end_src `------------------------------------------ Currently it produces the error: ,--------------------------------------------------- | apply: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, "" `--------------------------------------------------- I have had another go at bisecting this problem and came up with this: ,------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 9c878a8290c071fbe5e97bc33c300ef2f07d6153 is the first bad commit | commit 9c878a8290c071fbe5e97bc33c300ef2f07d6153 | Author: Dan Davison <davi...@stats.ox.ac.uk> | Date: Mon Aug 30 09:34:05 2010 -0700 | | babel: Fix temporary file processing in the remote execution case. | | * ob.el (org-babel-temp-file): Don't use babel temporary | directory in remote case; use make-temp-file with remote file | name so that temp file is guaranteed not to exist previously | on remote machine. | (org-babel-tramp-localname): New function to return local name | portion of possibly remote file specification | | * ob-R.el (org-babel-R-evaluate-external-process): Respond to | changes in `org-babel-temp-file'; pass local file name to | remote R process. | (org-babel-R-evaluate-session) Respond to | changes in `org-babel-temp-file'; pass local file name to | remote R process. | | :040000 040000 b31e072cf6b2951e95b7956d907303e7a04a8cfd 5f794ada52cceb0614fe7962a399f7e549759003 M lisp `------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does that help anyone any further? Cheers, Loris PS: I am amazed there aren't any more peasants like myself with torches and pitchforks beating on the gates of Castle Org about this - remote execution is/was such great feature! -- no sig is good sig
