Hi everyone,
I just found out how to tell ess where to look for R under Windows XP.
Maybe other have similar problems and this helps...
Maybe I found a bug?
Situation:
Windows XP; Emacs 24.2.1; ESS version 12.09-2; R-2.10.1 properly installed and two more recent
versions of R in my folder "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/username/Eigene Dateien"
M-x customize-variable RET ess-directory-containing-R RET
and setting it to "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/username/Eigene Dateien" doesn't help, i.e.
ess always starts the old (but properly installed) R-2.10.1.
One has to change the inferior-R-program-name, i.e.
M-x customize-variable RET inferior-R-program-name RET
and setting that one to "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/username/Eigene Dateien".
So for what do we need/use the variable ess-directory-containing-R?
Best
Oliver
