problems - ess 5.1.20, xemacs 21.4.6, windows xp, R1.4.1

[Dr Mike Waters]

I originally installed the 'native' windows install of 21.4.5. I
installed everything available, including the custom package, which I
could see from the drop downs. I uninstalled and then installed the
cygwin install of XEmacs 21.4 patch 6, after the cygwin/xfree86 full
install. I did everything as before and it worked fine. The only thing
is it comes up with the path to the R bin directory and requests
confirmation as the correct directory. It probably needs hard-wiring
into the 'R' section of ess-site.el. I was getting so frustrated because
I actually had this working with Emacs under win2k a while back with no
trouble.

The one thing I noticed second time around was a reference to something
with write and dribble in the name.

Regards

Mike

It sounds like you havn't added all of the packages to XEmacs,
especially the custom package (which may not come by default, but should
be add-able if you have an internet connection, using the packages
option on the toolbar).
