[ESS-bugs] Fwd: Re: [ESS] R starts slowly in ESS (moved to ESS-bugs)

[Richard M. Heiberger]

ESS-bugs,

There are some setup problems with ESS on Mac indicated here.
I don't have a Mac so I can't address them.  The two problems
indicated here are

edit() isn't working correctly

The generation of defuns R-2.5.0 and friends is not happening.

Georg, the options question I implied is this:  In the emacs session that
did not show the options() startup command, what do you get when you type these two
commands.  I show the answers I get running in NTemacs on Windows

> options()$STERM
[1] "iESS"
> options()$editor
[1] "gnuclient.exe"
