[ESS] "Sorry, no version of R could be found on your system", for new version of R 2.12

[spencerg]

1.  What do you get for "system.files()" from within R?  The first part 
should match what you have in site-start.el.  For example, I find the 
following:


       system.file()
       "c:/Users/sgraves/R/R-2.12.0/library/base".


       site-start.el includes:

       (setq-default inferior-R-program-name
               "c:/Users/sgraves/R/R-2.12.0/bin/i386/rterm.exe")


2.  If this fails to fix the problem, might you have more than one 
"(setq-default inferior-R-program-name ...)" statement in 
"site-start.el"?  I have only one.  (To be precise, I have many that 
start ";(setq-default ...)".  However, ";" indicates a comment.)


3.  If the above fails to fix the problem, maybe you have multiple 
site-start.el files?  You might change one while the system uses another?


hope this helps.
