Ahhh, what a tipical piece of R related information... well... which list should I post to then? Why can't I see a README? why does the documentation suggest I need to compile bit code? why do you assume that I *should* know what I am doing? I want to use R with emacs but I have no experience, I didn't find the docs usefull and I am sorry for existing.
