Hey Gang,
I'm stuck. In the current released version of my distro, packages like ESS,
AUCTeX and polymode are installed from the sources and loaded the old-fashioned
way, that is:
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "ess-autoloads")
(require 'poly-R)
(require 'poly-noweb)
Furthermore, .Rnw files are associated with poly-noweb-mode:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw" . poly-noweb-mode))
If I visit a .Rnw file, I get both the Polymode and AUCTeX menus (LaTeX,
Command). The mode line indicates LaTeX/MP and PM (or PM-Rnw). All good.
Now, with my upcoming distro, the packages are installed using package-install
and the package system is initialized in the site configuration file [it
contains (package-initialiaze)]. The thing is, when I visit a .Rnw file, I get
the polymode menu, but only the built-in TeX ones (like TeX) and the mode line
indicates LaTeX and PM.
The files contain the the file variable
%%% mode: noweb
I tried changing this to a few values, to no avail.
Anyone can help me around here?
TIA

>> '("melpa-stable" . https://stable.melpa.org/packages/))� for M-x
>> package-install
>> * ESS[R]: The shorthand notation for lambda functions and the question
>> mark are now fontified as keywords. Contributed by Maxime Pettinger.
>> * ESS[SAS]: Developed new comprehensive lists of PROCs and functions for
>> syntax highlighting. See etc/proc.sas and etc/func.sas.
