Well actually I did delete my edited version of ess-site.el and did a svn update where only ess-site.el was replaced from repository. So I'm quite sure that ess-site.el is from the newest ESS version.
What I found out is that my setup works if I start emacs with a --no-site-file option. I found out that in site-start.el there is a (require 'ess-site). Emacs gets that from ESS version 5.14, a very old version. Now also loading ESS newest in my .emacs gives a collision between two ESS version.
Thank you for your hint Martin.
Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen

well, and is that *IDENTICAL* to the ess-site.el that is
shipped with the new ESS ?
I doubt very much.
ESS 12.09 contains only one (emacs lisp) file related to julia
and that's ess/lisp/ess-julia.el
If you load other "<foo->julia<-bar>" files in your startup,
that is the problem you have to resolve.
There's really no ESS problem here, but rather ESS and your own
private setup biting each other ...

> 1.3 Requirements ================
> ESS is most likely to work with current/recent versions of
> the following statistical packages: R/S-PLUS, SAS, Stata,
> OpenBUGS and JAGS.
> ESS supports current, and recent, stable versions of
> GNU Emacs (specifically, the 22.x and 23.x series;
> alpha/beta/pre-release versions are NOT SUPPORTED).
> XEmacs currently does not allow all ESS features. Basic
> ESS functionality however is supported for the time being
> (XEmacs stable 21.4.14 or higher).
> To build the PDF documentation, you will need a version
> of TeX Live or texinfo that includes texi2dvi (BEWARE:
> recent TeX Live, and some texinfo RPMs, do NOT include
> texi2dvi).
> 1.4 Stability =============
> All recent released versions are meant to be
> release-quality versions. While some new features are
> being introduced, we are cleaning up and improving the
> interface. We know that there are many remaining
> opportunities for documentation improvements, but all
> contributors are volunteers and time is precious. Patches
> or suggested fixes with bug reports are much appreciated!
> 1.5 Mailing List ================
> There is a mailing list for discussions and announcements
> relating to ESS. Join the list by sending an e-mail with
> "subscribe ess-help" (or "help") in the body to
> <ess-help-request at stat.math.ethz.ch>; contributions to the
> list may be mailed to <ess-help at stat.math.ethz.ch>. Rest
> assured, this is a fairly low-volume mailing list.
> The purposes of the mailing list include
> * helping users of ESS to get along with it.
> * discussing aspects of using ESS on Emacs and XEmacs.
> * suggestions for improvements.
> * announcements of new releases of ESS.
> * posting small patches to ESS.
> 1.6 Reporting Bugs ==================
> Please send bug reports, suggestions etc. to
> <ESS-bugs at stat.math.ethz.ch>
> The easiest way to do this is within Emacs by typing
> `M-x ess-submit-bug-report'
> This also gives the maintainers valuable information
> about your installation which may help us to identify or
> even fix the bug.
> If Emacs reports an error, backtraces can help us debug
> the problem. Type "M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error
> RET t RET". Then run the command that causes the error
> and you should see a *Backtrace* buffer containing debug

> 1.9 New Features ================
> Changes/New Features in 12.09:
> * Due to XEmacs lacking some features that ESS
> requires, ESS support of XEmacs ends with ESS 12.04-4.
> This decision will be re-visited in the future as XEmacs
> continues to sync with GNU Emacs.
> * ESS[R]: On Windows, there is now a new
> customizable variable (currently called
> `ess-directory-containing-R') to tell ESS where to look
> for the `Rterm.exe' executables. The name of the variable
> and the values it can take are both in beta and subject to
> change. Prior to this variable, ESS searched only in the
> default installation directory. Setting this variable now
> tells ESS how to find `Rterm.exe' executables when they
> are installed somewhere else.
> * ESS[julia]: _new_ mode for editing julia code
> (`*.jl'). Start with `M-x julia'.
> Full interaction interface, imenu and basic
> error referencing are available.
> * ESS[R] noweb: `noweb-mode' and
> `noweb-font-lock-mode' have been renamed to
> `ess-noweb-mode' and `ess-noweb-font-lock-mode' to avoid
> conflicts with the "real" `noweb-mode'.
> * ESS[R] noweb: The long standing font-lock bug
> has been solved in `ess-noweb' interface.
> * ESS: Basic evaluation keys are now bound to
> `ess-eval-region-*-' functions:
> - `C-M-x' is bound to
> `ess-eval-region-or-function-or-paragraph'
> - `C-c C-c' is bound to
> `ess-eval-region-or-function-or-paragraph-and-step'
> - `C-RET' is bound to
> `ess-eval-region-or-line-and-step'
> Each of these functions first evaluates the
> region whenever the region is active.
> * ESS: `C-M-a'/`C-M-e' now step to beginning/end
> of paragraph if no function has been detected.
> * ESS: `ess-eval-*-and-step' family of functions
> are now smarter, and don't step to end of buffer or end of
> chunk code (`@') when at the end of the code.
> * ESS: `ess-handy-commands' function is bound to
> `C-c h'
> * ESS: ESS is now _blinking_ the evaluated region.
> Set `ess-blink-region' to nil to deactivate;
> `ess-blink-delay' gives the duration of the
> blink. Evaluated region is "blinked" in `highlight' face.
> * ESS[R-help] New key `a' for "apropos()" in help
> buffers. Also available through `C-c h'.
> * ESS[R-help] All R commands of type foo?bar and
> foo??bar are recognized and redirected into appropriate
> *ESS-help* buffers.
> * ESS[R]: New customization interface for
> _font-lock_.
> ESS font-lock operates with predefined
> keywords. Default keywords are listed in
> `ess-R-font-lock-keywords' and
> `inferior-R-font-lock-keywords', which see. The user can
> easily customize those by adding new keywords. These
> variables can also be interactively accessed and saved
> through `ESS/Font-lock' submenu.
> Several new fontification keywords have been
> added. Most notably the keywords for highlighting of
> function calls, numbers and operators.
> * ESS[R]: auto-complete is now activated by
> default whenever auto-complete package is detected. Set
> `ess-use-auto-complete' to nil to deactivate.
> * ESS[R]: R AC sources are no longer auto-starting
> at 0 characters but at the default `ac-auto-start'
> characters.
> * ESS no longer redefines default ac-sources, but
> only appends `ac-source-filename' to it.
> * ESS: `ac-source-R' now concatenates " = " to
> function arguments.
> * ESS: Menus for ESS and iESS have been
> reorganized and enriched with _Tracebug_ and _Developer_
> submenus.
> * ESS[R]: `ess-developer' and `ess-tracebug'
> commands are available by default in `ess-dev-map' which
> is bound to `C-c d' in ESS and iESS maps.
> * ESS[R]: `eldoc' truncates long lines whenever
> `eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p' is non-nil (the

> multiline eldoc. See also `ess-eldoc-abbreviation-style'.
> * ESS[R]: completion code pre-caches arguments of
> heavy generics such as `plot' and `print' to eliminated
> the undesirable delay on first request.
> * iESS: Prompts in inferior buffers are now
> highlighted uniformly with `comint-highlight-prompt' face.
> * ESS[R]: R process no longer wait for the
> completion of input in inferior buffer. Thus, long
> running commands like `Sys.sleep(5)' no longer stall
> emacs.
> * ESS: [R, S, Stata, Julia] have specialized
> `ess-X-post-run-hook's, which are run at the end of

> * iESS[Stata]: Fixed prompt detection issue.
> * ESS[Rd]: R is autostarted also from here, when
> needed.
> Changes/New Features in 12.04: * ESS: Reverting new

> * ESS for emacs version 24 or higher: ESS is fully
> compatible with the emacs 24 completion scheme, i.e. all
> the completion is done by `completion-at-point'. Also in
> accordance with emacs conventions, ESS doesn't bind
> `M-TAB' for emacs 24 or higher. `M-TAB' calls the default
> `complete-symbol'.
> * ESS[R]: Out of the box integration with `Auto
> Completion' mode
> (http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/). Three AC
> sources `ac-source-R-args', `ac-source-R-objects' and
> `ac-source-R' are provided. The last one combines the
> previous two and makes them play nicely together. Set
> `ess-use-auto-complete' to `t' to start using it. Refer
> to documentation string of `ac-use-auto-complete' for
> further information.
> * ESS[R]: New unified and fast argument completion
> system, comprised of `ess-funname.start',
> `ess-function-arguments', `ess-get-object-at-point'. Eldoc
> and auto-completion integration are using this system.
> * ESS: `ess-switch-to-end-of-ESS'(`C-c C-z'), and
> `ess-switch-to-ESS'(`C-c C-y'): Automatically start the
> process whenever needed.
> * ESS[R]: `roxy' knows about previewing text
> version of the documentation. Bound to `C-c C-e t'.
> * ESS[R]: Solved the "nil filename" bug in roxygen
> support.
> * ESS[R]: `ess-tracebug' is now part of ESS:
> New Features:
> - Source injection: Tracebug now can inject
> source references on the fly during code evaluation,
> i.e. you don't have to source your file, but just evaluate
> your code in normal fashion. Variable
> `ess-tracebug-inject-source-p' controls this behavior - if
> t, always inject source reference, if `'function', inject
> only for functions (this is the default), if `nil', never
> inject.
> During the source injection the value of
> `ess-eval-visibly-p' is ignored.
> - Org-mode support: Visual debugger is now
> aware of the temporary org source editing buffer (`C-c '')
> and jumps through this buffers if still alive, or in
> original org buffer otherwise.
> - New keys in watch mode: `?' and `d'
> - Two new hooks: ess-tracebug-enter-hook and
> ess-tracebug-exit-hook
> * ESS[R]: New package `ess-developer' to evaluate
> `R' code directly in the package environment and
> namespace. It can be toggled on and off with `C-c d
> t'. When `ess-developer' is on all ESS evaluation commands
> are redefined to evaluate code in appropriate
> environments. Add package names to the list of your
> development packages with `C-d a', and remove with `C-d
> r'. Source the current file with `C-d s'.Evaluation
> function which depend on ``ess-eval-region'' ask for the

> * ESS[R] help system:
> New Features:
> - `q' quits window instead of calling
> `ess-switch-to-end-of-ESS'. This is consistent with emacs
> behavior help and other special buffers (_breaking
> change_).
> - `k' kills window without asking for the
> name (pointed by Sam Steingold)
> - Help map inherits from `special-mode-map'
> as sugested by Sam Steingold.
> - Package index: new function
> `ess-display-index' bound to `i' in help mode map.
> - Package vignettes: new function
> `ess-display-vignettes' bound to `v' in help mode map.
> - Display help in HTML browser: new function
> `ess-display-help-in-browser' bound to `w' in help mode
> map. It depends on `R''s `browser' option.
> - New custom variable
> `ess-help-pop-to-buffer': if non-nil ESS help buffers are
> given focus on display. The default is `t' (_breaking
> change_).
> - New menu entries for the above functions.
> - Bogus help buffers are no longer generated
> by default, i.e. buffers of the form "No documentation
> for 'foo' in specified packages and libraries: you could
> try '??foo' ". `ess-help-kill-bogus-buffers' now defaults
> to `t'. Beware, there may be instances where the default
> is unsatisfactory such as debugging and/or during R
> development. Thanks to Ross Boylan for making the
> suggestion, Sam Steingold for reminding us of this
> variable and Martin Maechler for the warning.
> * ESS now uses `IDO' completing read functionality
> for all the interactive requests. It uses ido completion
> mechanism whenever available, and falls back on classical
> completing-read otherwise. You can set `ess-use-ido' to
> nil if you don't want the IDO completion. See the
> documentation string of `ess-use-ido' for more information
> about `IDO' and ESS configuration.
> * ESS[S]: "`,'" is bound to ess-smart-comma: If
> comma is invoked at the process marker of an ESS inferior
> buffer, request and execute a command from
> ``ess-handy-commands'' list. If `ess-R-smart-operators' is
> t ``ess-smart-comma' also inserts " " after comma.
> * ESS[S], notably `R': Variable
> ``ess-handy-commands'' stores an alist of useful commands
> which are called by `ess-smart-comma' in the inferior
> buffer.
> Currently containing:
> change-directory `ess-change-directory'
> help-index `ess-display-index'
> help-object `ess-display-help-on-object'
> vignettes `ess-display-vignettes'
> objects[ls] `ess-execute-objects'
> search `ess-execute-search'
> set-width `ess-execute-screen-options'
> install.packages `ess-install.packages'
> library `ess-library'
> setRepos `ess-setRepositories'
> sos `ess-sos'
> Handy commands: `ess-library',
> `ess-install.packages', etc - ask for item with completion
> and execute the correspond command. `ess-sos' is a
> interface to `findFn' function in package `sos'. If
> package `sos' is not found, ask user for interactive
> install.
> * ESS: New dynamic mode line indicator: Process
> status is automatically reflected in all mode-lines of
> associated with the process buffers. Particularly useful
> for displaying debug status of `ess-tracebug' and
> developer status of `ess-developer' in all associated
> buffers.
> * ESS: New `ess-completing-read' mechanism: ESS
> uses `ido' completions whenever possible. Variable
> `ess-use-ido' controls whether to use ido completion or
> not. Active by default.
> * ESS now supports comint fields for output and
> input detection. This feature is not used by default, but
> might be useful in the future.
> * ESS[S]: New custom variable
> `inferior-ess-S-prompt' to customize prompt detection
> regular expression in the inferior ESS buffers. You can
> customize this variable to enhance comint navigation
> (`comint-previous-prompt' and `comint-next-prompt') the
> inferior buffers.
> * ESS[R]: Internal `R' completion retrieval
> (`ess-R-complete-object-name') was rewritten and is faster
> now.
> * ESS is using process plist to store process
> specific variables, as opposed to buffer local variables
> as it was using before. The use of buffer local variables
> to store process variables is discouraged.
> * ESS: new functions to manipulate process plists:
> `ess-process-get' and `ess-process-set'.
> * ESS: Internal process waiting mechanism was
> completely rewritten. ESS no more relies on prompt regular
> expressions for the prompt detection. The only requirement
> on the primary process prompt is to end in `> '. This
> could be overwritten by setting
> `inferor-ess-primary-prompt'.
> * ESS[S], notably `R': Saved command history:
> ESS-HISTORY-FILE now accepts `t' (default), `nil', or a
> file name. By setting it to `nil' no command line history
> is saved anymore. ESS-HISTORY-DIRECTORY now allows to
> have the history all saved in one "central" file.
> * ESS[R]: more Roxygen improvements.
> * ESS[R]: `C-c .' to set (indentation) style.
> * ESS[R]: Functions with non-standard names (for
> example 'aaa-bbb:cc') are properly handled by font-lock
> and evaluation routines.
> * ESS[R]:Several regexp bugs (described in
> etc/R-ESS-bugs.el) were fixed in
> `ess-get-words-from-vector' and `ess-command'.
> Changes/New Features in 5.14: * ESS[BUGS/JAGS]: Batch
> BUGS is back! For recent OpenBUGS versions, 3.0.8+, a
> batch BUGS script is once again available, but for Linux
> only. Therefore, since it seems that BUGS and JAGS must
> co-exist (rather than a transition from BUGS to JAGS),
> .bug files are now in ESS[BUGS] mode and .jag files are in
> ESS[JAGS] mode. ESS[BUGS] now works like ESS[JAGS] rather
> than the original mode ESS[BUGS] mode which was difficult
> to maintain. Although, ESS[BUGS] appears to work, there
> still may be some features missing as well as bugs.
> * ESS[R]: New customizable variable
> `ess-swv-plug-into-AUCTeX-p' Commands to Sweave current
> file and LaTeX the result are now available to AUCTeX
> users, if this variable is set to `t'.
> * ESS[S]: `C-c C-c'
> (`ess-eval-function-or-paragraph-and-step') is now
> skipping over comments as the other paragraph functions
> do. It (and similar functions) should no longer wrongly
> find `function()' beginnings inside comments or strings.
> * ESS[SAS]: improved by better support for GNU
> Emacs
