Kim,
Try ESS 5.14 which you can get from
https://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/downloads/ess/OLD/
ess-5.14.zip 30-Jul-2011 18:18 7.0M
Unzip it into some sensible location.
Start a fresh emacs session with
emacs -Q
to prevent the current ess from loading.
Then start the old ess by dired to the
ess-5.14/lisp/
directory, placing the cursor on ess-site.el and pressing L to load
the older ess-site
ESS 5.14 is the last version of ESS that worked correctly on Windows
with the standalone S-Plus GUI.
ESS 5.14 also works correctly on Windows with the command line Sqpe
running in the *S* window.
I am using
TIBCO Spotfire S+ Version 8.2.0 for Microsoft Windows : 2010
I have not used S-Plus with linux, so I don't know if this information
translates to the linux environment.
