[ESS] Emacs, ESS and Rmarkdown: Is this the way compile, is supposed to work?

[Manuel Teodoro]

Hi Kevin,

I was trying to reproduce your error but somehow, I cannot manage. Thus, I
did a quick search and found the following link
https://github.com/polymode/poly-markdown/issues/2
They report some kind of similar error. The suggestion is the following:

>>>
I solve it by installing polymode. Please check whether polymode is
installed correctly.

   1. M+x package-list-packages
   2. C+s search polymode and check if it's installed correctly.

If it doesn't solve the problem, try to Install poly-markdown through
github:

git clone https://github.com/polymode/poly-markdown

Add following to your .emacs

;;poly-markdown
(setq load-path
(append '("path/to/vc/dir/polymode/" "path/to/vc/dir/poly-markdown/")
load-path))
(require 'poly-markdown)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\.md" . poly-markdown-mode))

Hope this help!

<<<


So, maybe you can try to check if this issue, or some other similar issue
in the github repo can help you solve your problem. You could also try to
open an issue directly there, in the repo, since your problem is more
related to polymode than to ESS you might find more useful advice there.


Unfortunately, I don't think I can help you more, on one hand I don't fully
understand the error and on the other I cannot reproduce it to try and
debug it.


Good luck!

Manuel
