[ESS] knitr and ESS

[ottorino]

It seems that the functions were loaded from .emacs.d/elpa/polymode...

I'm writing "were" because I tried to:

1) remove the elpa version, through manage emacs packages
2) install the git version (with the relevant lines "setq dir..." and 
"require ... " put in my .emacs) as follows

(setq load-path
       (append '("/home/ottorino/Documenti/BitBucket/polymode/" 
"/home/ottorino/Documenti/BitBucket/polymode/modes")
               load-path))
(require 'poly-R)
(require 'poly-markdown)


3) retry the knitting the file to html output

Always the same problematic behavior.
