You can probably just download the emacs-ess sources and extract them in a personal directory for testing, i.e.: % mkdir ~/elisp % cd ~/elisp % fetch http://ess.r-project.org/downloads/ess/ess-5.3.11.tgz % tar xzvf ess-5.3.11.tgz Then add in your ~/.emacs file the following: (add-to-list 'load-path ~/elisp/ess-5.3.11) (require 'ess-site) If you see an *ESS* buffer then you are probably ready to go. If not, then see the detailed installation instructions in `ess-5.3.11/README'.

Re: Emacs-ess
Giorgos, thanks a bunch--that was easy! Your suggestions worked perfectly. When I originally tried to install ess, i downloaded the tarball and tried to build it's contents from source. I did this because I glanced at the tarball's contents and saw such things as Makeconf and Makefile. This, to me, begs the question: why the Makefile if there's no need to compile? (Pardon my limited understanding.)

(Pardon my limited understanding.) Byte-compiling Emacs Lisp code can make it slightly faster to load. So there is a marginally small advantage to doing that. But if you don't keep closing and reopening Emacs, causing everything to reload from scratch, it shouldn't matter very much if you load the source .el files once. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
