[ESS] ESS-help Digest, Vol 199, Issue 3

[Braun, Michael]

I use Aquamacs 3.5, based on emacs 25.3, ESS 18.10.3snapshot from MELPA, OSX 10.14.16, and the following works for me.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Packages/lisp/")
(require 'ess-site)
(load "ess-autoloads")  ;; need to register Rnw files
(require ‘polymode) ;; version 2.0 now
(require 'poly-markdown)
(require 'poly-noweb)
(require 'poly-R)  ;;

I, too, found the order mattered, but I think it’s because poly-R depends on poly-noweb and poly-markdown, which depend on polymode.

But I am more interested in the errors you are getting.  After upgrading to poly-R-2.0, I found that clicking on the menubar while an R buffer was open was crashing Aquamacs (and replicated on Emacs 26.3).  I’ll start another thread once I’ve narrowed down the source of the problem some more, but I am curious if this is related.
