[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.1.13; font lock functions redefined?

[Edward Susko]

Hello;

 I did a quick install of ess in site-lisp, copying ess-site.el to site-lisp and
 changing the lisp directory to
(defvar ess-lisp-directory
    (directory-file-name "/opt/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess-5.1.13/lisp"))
 Originally this created difficulties with font-lock mode: lines like
(global-font-lock-mode t)
 in .emacs files gave error messages. My guess is that font-lock functions are
 being redefined in a way that conflicts with usual font-lock mode. Recompiling
 emacs with the changes described below fixed all apparent
 problems. This is a relatively time consuming solution for other machines
 however.

In src/epaths.h, changing the ordering of directories in the path:

define PATH_LOADSEARCH
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/leim:/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/lisp"

to

#define PATH_LOADSEARCH
 "/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp"

SEEMS to fix things.
