[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 17.11 [Released git: d03efb64579f]; Error Unknown specializer "R" when evaluating run-ess-r

[Vitalie Spinu]

Hi Stephan,

Sounds like an instalation error to me. Your reported version is
17.11, but this specializer thing is a recent addition. So might be
cross compilation issue of some kind. Try removing and re-installing
from scratch.
