[ESS] Does R fix() or edit() work for you these days?

[Paul Johnson]

On Fedora 7 with emacs -22.1-1.fc7 and ESS -5.3.5, I am unable to use
R commands edit() and fix()  on data frames.  Here is the error:


 > fix(myimpdat)
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor.  Please use:

	--socket-name
	--server-file      (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
	--alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR)
Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) :
	problem with running editor emacsclient
> edit(myimpdat)
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor.  Please use:

	--socket-name
	--server-file      (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
	--alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR)
Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) :
	problem with running editor emacsclient


If I follow these instructions to run M-x server-start, then the
content of the data editor is shown in an Emacs buffer.

I start Emacs - ESS with these options. Are they the cause of my trouble?
