Re: [ESS] [External] [R-win] Difficulty installing R packages under Windows 11 / Cygwin

my initial reaction is that you are trying to hard. I haven't paid serious attention to Windows since I switched to Mac about 10 years ago. What I recall is that all the unix utilities (sh, awk, grep, etc) that you need are included in the Rtools collection. Indeed they are exactly the cygwin

Yes, that is the designed behavior. A transcript is the history of a previous session. Normally you would not want to change it. What you might want to do is open a new .r file and copy the source code from the transcript into the new file. Pick up the entire section of transcript (input

The change in date format makes sense. The short term workaround is to set the specific R you want. In general, that ESS code on Windows was designed to find R in any of a number of standard places. The list of what those standard places are is also a variable you can set. The details have

The relevant question is what version of ess are you using? more specifically which version of ess is included with VIncent Goulet's emacs-26.1? the "bin/x64/Rterm.exe" construction is not in ess-16.10 It is in ess-18.10 the /x64/ wasn't meaningful until R stsarted releasing both 32-bit

i almost never use those menus. my fingets know the emacs key-combinations too well. It comes out of the blue and catches me unawares. The only thing that occurs to me is something similar to Rmpfr error discussed on R-sig-mac list about a week ago. Simon traced it to a rarely used intel

I have not tried anything at this point. I don't have any sense of what specific causes the crash. I just notice that it crashes about twice a week, and that I have not seen that type of behavior previously with the Mac Intel. Rich From: Vincent

Yes, your use case is exactly mine. Since I normally have several buffers open, sometimes in the same frame, sometimes in different frames, I don't see that sequence as a big deal. I just move the mouse and paste. I just looked at the names of all the ess- commands C-h f ess- and don't see

Hi Kevin, I think Stephen is assuming you do a lot of work in the *R* and then want to recover it into a script. For that case I wouldn't bother saving the *R* buffer, but would just copy the relevant lines (including output) and then save it back into the script file with C-u C-u C-y
