Both R and Xemacs are installed and working. The current ess files are installed in a subdirectory of my Xemacs directory. I added the R bin directory to my Windows PATH environment variable.
But when I start Xemacs and then give command
M-x-R
what I see in the mini-buffer is
M-x-Rd-
and it's waiting for more input.
So what could be wrong? ....
1. Where might I find or should I put the requisite Xemacs init.el, in which I'm supposed to enter a line of the form
(load "/PATH/ess-site")
to point to the ess location? I found no such file anywhere on my system, so I created one in each of the _two_ HOME directories I have -- one pointed to by the enviroment system variable HOME and the other pointed to by the user environment variable HOME (which seem to be different -- I don't recall whether that happened automatically when I installed Singular or whether I did it manually).
2. And what should that file actually be called? The ess docs say it should be %HOME%/.xemacs/init.el for Xemacs, but they also say to put it in the .emacs (or _emacs) file or default.el or site-init.el.
I'm using "init.el".
3. Did I get the form of that line correct for init.el (or whatever it should actually be named)? My file ess-site.el is in
D:\WP\XEmacs\ess-5.2.3\lisp
so the line I actually put into default.el is:
(load "/D:/WP/XEmacs/ess-5.2.3/lisp/ess-site")
4. Anything else I should check or do to proceed?
