I think a big issue is that few (if > any) ESS developers are using Windows. Rich was probably > the rear guard and he switched to Mac. Actually, I use ESS + R on a Windows server (I log into in a window on my Linux Desktop/notebook) every couple of weeks or so, to test R things (notably those that I know are platform dependent, e.g., all my numeric / accuracy experiments/research). I have many (half a dozen to a dozen) versions of R installed on that server, but indeed M-x R had stopped many months ago, but the current workaround for me has always been to M-x R-[tab] [tab] = tabulator for "tab completion" in Emacs, and then choose from the possible completions which do show both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of every version of R (see above).

[ESS] User-space installation of ESS 18.10.2 failing
I am trying to install ess-18.10.2 from the tarball into .emac.d on a compute server for which I am not root. After extracting the tarball into ~/.emacs.d/ess-18.10.2, entering that directory and executing make (all per the instructions in the ESS manual), I am getting $> make cd lisp; make all make[1]: Entering directory `/scicomp/home-pure/wqh4/.emacs.d/ess-18.10.2/lisp' emacs -batch -no-site-file -no-init-file --directory . -f batch-byte-compile julia-mode.el Opening directory: Permission denied, /apps/x86_64/emacs/27.1/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess make[1]: *** [julia-mode.elc] Error 255 make[1]: Leaving directory `/scicomp/home-pure/wqh4/.emacs.d/ess-18.10.2/lisp' make: *** [all] Error 2 There is no .configure file. How doe one avoid the apparent need to write to /apps/x86_64/emacs/27.1/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess in order to install ess in .emacs.d? Note: I tried installation from MELPA first, but the version of ess there insists on Emacs 25.1, and my available options are 26.1 or 27.1. Thanks in advance for any tips. -- Steve Gutreuter __ ESS-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
