Mine's the same on one machine; Kubuntu and CentOS on two other
machines (the latter with rather older Emacs version).

Mine's different.  I have ESS installed in the /home directory.

There is.  In my /home/ directory.

I got that to work at one stage, but I thought it was meant to work in
the *R* buffer also.  With all my subsequent tinkering, I can't get
that to work again.  I can't even replicate the problem about the
missing ess-eldoc.  I'll have to go through very carefully to work out
what I could possibly have screwed up. (Spent an hour on it already
and can't find it).

Thanks for the suggestions.
