I have a MAC powerbook on which I have been running R, usually via an X11-based version of emacs that I compiled myself. I recently upgraded my teTeX distribution, after which I began experiencing a problem with R. Specifically, the prompt has disappeared. If I run R in a shell window, I get no prompt, but if I imagine that one is there and just type stuff as usual, it seems to function normally. (Also options()$prompt returns "> " as expected.) If I run R via emacs, the lack of a prompt confuses ESS, so that's a problem. I'm assuming that there is some library that I "upgraded" when I installed teTeX which R is also using which is causing this problem, but I have no idea what it could be. Other interactive programs running within the shell don't seem to have been affected.
I reinstalled the R MAC binaries thinking this might put something back, but it didn't fix the problem. Next, I downloaded the latest R source and recompiled, but this didn't fix it either. I also thought it might have something to do with "readline" but running R with or without "--no-readline" has no effect. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Is there anything else I should try? Is there a standard library that handles this operation that I should look for? Any help would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
