I am trying to install ess-18.10.2 from the tarball into .emac.d on a
compute server for which I am not root. After extracting the tarball
into ~/.emacs.d/ess-18.10.2, entering that directory and executing make
(all per the instructions in the ESS manual), I am getting
$> make
cd lisp; make all
make[1]: Entering directory
`/scicomp/home-pure/wqh4/.emacs.d/ess-18.10.2/lisp'
emacs -batch -no-site-file -no-init-file --directory . -f
batch-byte-compile julia-mode.el
Opening directory: Permission denied,
/apps/x86_64/emacs/27.1/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess
make[1]: *** [julia-mode.elc] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/scicomp/home-pure/wqh4/.emacs.d/ess-18.10.2/lisp'
make: *** [all] Error 2
There is no .configure file. How doe one avoid the apparent need to
write to /apps/x86_64/emacs/27.1/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess in order to
install ess in .emacs.d?
Note: I tried installation from MELPA first, but the version of ess
there insists on Emacs 25.1, and my available options are 26.1 or 27.1.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
