Over the past couple of weeks, I've been having some issues with emacs hanging on startup. I usually kill the process, but inadvertently left it in the background today, noting much later that it ended up starting. I played with commenting out various parts of my config until I narrowed things down to the line:
(require 'ess-site) the message buffer displays "enabling speedbar support" for a reeeaaally long time before it eventually starts up. I tried debug-on-signal and eval-expression-debug-on-error... I'm not sure what is supposed to happen with debug options, but no debug buffer pops up. The only lines that appear relevant in *Messages* are: ad-handle-definition: `ess-indent-command' got redefined ad-handle-definition: `ess-eval-line-and-step' got redefined How might I diagnose this further?. I'm not familiar with chasing down Emacs issues other than narrowing it down to a config file option. I can reproduce this with: - emacs -Q - putting this in the buffer (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/ess/lisp") (require 'ess-site) - M-x eval-region on the above two lines Thanks for any suggestions, John
