Well,
In gentoo-linux when i start ( Xemacs-21.4.15-r3, ESS-5.2.6) ESS with
M-x R I get:

> options(STERM='iESS', editor='gnuclient -q')

When I try edit() and fix() on a small vector I get:
###
> k <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
> edit(k)
gnuclient: No such file or directory
gnuclient: unable to connect to local
Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) :
problem with running editor gnuclient -q
> fix(k)
gnuclient: No such file or directory
gnuclient: unable to connect to local
Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) :
problem with running editor gnuclient -q

In my system gnuclient is there in /usr/bin OK but I don't know about
gnuserv or gnudoit
As far as I'm aware of I have a standard installation of Xemacs with
sumo and I have ESS in my home directory with a reference to the lisp
directory in the init.el and from other aspects (that's with the
exception of function templates, whcih I have never been able to get in
function) ESS works as expected and OK from my point of view. In init.el
I have nothing about gnuclient, emacsclient, gnuserv or whatever.
emacsclient if it's a file isn't on my system.
