[ESS] Issue with polymode installed from ELPA

[Sparapani, Rodney]

And it gets weirder still.  I have two Macs similarly configured.
One works just fine with polymode no problems.  And, the
other is a nightmare.  But, they are so similar, I can’t seem to
find what the difference is between them ;o(

Boy, this is curious.  I also have stan-mode installed via ELPA
and it works fine ;o(  Is there something special about polymode
and its interaction with 26.2?

Hi Vitalie:

Well, I hate to burst your bubble.  But, I can assure you, that FOR ME polymode does absolutely
nothing if you do not require it.  And I just tested that again.  This problem is what inspired my bug
report (see below from 9/9) to which I received no advice ;o(

Thanks,

Hi Gang:

I am stumped.  I tried to install polymode from ELPA into Vincent Goulet's
distro of Emacs and ESS (it no longer contains polymode sadly).
macOS 10.14.4 Mojave, Emacs version 26.2 and ESS version 18.10.2
The ELPA install seemed to go well.  My load-path starts with
("/Users/rsparapa/.emacs.d/elpa/poly-R-0.2"
"/Users/rsparapa/.emacs.d/elpa/poly-markdown-0.2"
"/Users/rsparapa/.emacs.d/elpa/markdown-mode-2.3"
"/Users/rsparapa/.emacs.d/elpa/poly-noweb-0.2"
"/Users/rsparapa/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2" ...
So, everything looks good.  But, I get errors when I put simple requires in
.emacs like (require 'polymode)
So, I hard-coded all of the paths, but this gets hairy since now I have to
hard-code all of the dependencies too ...
(require 'polymode-classes "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode-classes.el")
(require 'polymode-core "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode-core.el")
(require 'polymode-compat "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode-compat.el")
(require 'polymode-methods "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode-methods.el")
(require 'polymode-export "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode-export.el")
(require 'polymode-weave "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode-weave.el")
(require 'polymode-base "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode-base.el")
(require 'poly-lock "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/poly-lock.el")
(require 'polymode "~/.emacs.d/elpa/polymode-0.2/polymode.el")
(require 'poly-noweb "~/.emacs.d/elpa/poly-noweb-0.2/poly-noweb.el")
(require 'poly-markdown "~/.emacs.d/elpa/poly-markdown-0.2/poly-markdown.el")
(require 'poly-R "~/.emacs.d/elpa/poly-R-0.2/poly-R.el")
Getting the order of the dependencies right was a pain as well.  However,
brute force fixed it!  But, I don't want to go through this ever again for
obvious reasons.  It took me over an hour for what is supposed to be a 5 or
10 minute install.  Does anyone have an idea of WTF is going wrong here?

Thanks,

Rodney
