BernPf> Hello Martin,
BernPf> I once obtained a similar error message, which was caused by the fact, that I have left the tar.gz file of ESS in my site-lisp folder. Once removed, everything ran smooth.
Well, thank you Bernhard,
but I didn't expect this was the case with Vincent's
"Emacs+ESS+Auctex" -- all-in-one-- bundle,
and I've looked, it wasn't.
Also, in the mean time, I've uninstalled and re-installed the
stuff into E:\\Emacs\\
i.e. specifically in a place that has no spaces in
file/directory names.
But it did not help.
Of course now, I could also re-install R and
make sure it is also not in c:/program files/r/.....
But then I know that ESS specifically works around this and uses
short file names ( c:/progr~1/.... ) anyway.
