hi Robert,
try the following steps and do report back 1. On your mac, open terminal and start R from within the terminal. if that works, what does "which R" report? 2. If 1 worked, open Emacs from within this terminal, and then do M-x shell to get a terminal within Emacs. Does "R" work now, and if so, is it finding the right version of R (which R)? If it doesn't find R, ESS probably won't work either. Check your PATH within Emacs. [I'm not sure Emacs will find R if you start Emacs from the "floating bar" thing, rather than from within a terminal, as you need to ensure your PATH etc is set up for Emacs to inherit it.] 3. If step 2 worked, M-x R should work. If not, what does it say?
