Hi all Just this morning I upgraded to R 2.12.0 (for Mac OS X 10.6.4). All went well until I needed to run a help() or help.search() in my session, which I'm running within Emacs (ESS 5.3.7).
That's very old version of ESS, I have no problems with 2.12.0 with ESS 5.11 on Emacs 23.2 at home. Also, there is an ESS-help mailing list for ESS questions, usually very responsive and all the developers read it.
Say I need help with the command 'density'. When I type help(density) or ?density the ESS help buffer opens, it is titled *help[R](density)* but it contains only a couple of lines saying, e.g., Error in help("density", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) This is a problem only running R within emacs. The command help() works fine if I run R at the command line in a terminal window or if I use the stand-alone R application. Thank you in advance Claudia
