Today I removed the Fedora ESS packages from both of the computers on which I have been having trouble. I installed ESS 17.11 from Melpa on both of them. I used Melpa just because I had some other packages from there that I have been using with my Emacs installations and it would be easy to a

Hi Stephen, I doubt it's problem with ESS. Running R from emacs shell and with ESS should be equivalent. Make sure that it's indeed the same R instance and RODBC what are called in your experiments. Do you have a custom inferior-ess-r-program-name setup? Do you issue Rterm or R in the emacs shel

Further info: When I use Rterm in a cmd shell the connection works. When I use Rterm in a shell within Emacs the connection works. Something must be going wrong in the way ESS does things. Stephen From: Bond, Stephen Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 12:53 PM To: 'ess-help@r-project.org' Subjec

[ESS] how to change the default ess-style?

2017-12-13 Thread Joshua N Pritikin
I'm trying to persuade ess to use the RStudio- style by default. I upgraded to ess-17.11 (emacs 24.5+1-11+deb9u1). I tried some solutions suggested here, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7502540/make-emacs-ess-follow-r-style-guide This one does something bad and every other attempt to load a

Re: [ESS] starting directory not detected correctly anymore
