[ESS] [External] ESS does not find R

[Stephen Bond]

fixing the typo did not do anything. is the proposed solution to set
the variable to the folder containing R-x.x.x or the folder containing
/bin or /bin itself? the ESS manual is not specific.
 
also why cannot ESS just try `R` and let the shell find it? I can even
start R in a shell buffer inside emacs, but ESS does not recognize it
and does not send code to it.
