[ESS] RE: [R] Ess packages for Suse-9.2 available ?

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

I do not know anything about RPM construction, but on Suse 9.1 (the 
next-to-newest version), emacs resides in
  /usr/share/emacs
with the site-lisp directory being
 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
There is an additional site-lisp directory,
 /usr/share/emacs/21.3/site-lisp
but it hardly contains any files (only a term directory with few files, 
from the names it seems to have something to do with xterms).

I guess this ought to be enough to decide whether the RPMs work under 
Suse?
