My .emacs file loads ESS. I suppose I could try an .emacs file that
only does that.
Perhaps I'm not loading it in the right way. My code is
(let ((mydir "~ross/ESS/lisp"))
(if (file-readable-p mydir) ; true
(setq load-path (append load-path (list mydir)))
(load "ess-site")))
(setq inferior-julia-program-name "~ross/julia/julia")
(load "ess-site")
I have uninstalled the packed version of ESS (14.09) that comes with
my distribution (Debian).

The file I opened initially, the one that sources all the others, is
above the package directory. It sources files under the package
directory. When I modified one of them I used C-c C-t C-s to disable
the namespace before I did C-c C-l. This was on the theory that the
source() commands earlier stuck everything in the global namespace.
