Hello experts,

I'm having problems installing the ESS. Hope I could get some help from you.

I'v installed latest version Emacs - 23.1 (9.0) and downloaded ess-5.8. Then I dragged ess-5.8 in the folder Applications/ESSDIR and created a .emacs file with a line "(load "/ESSDIR/ess-5.8/lisp/ess-site")" using TextWrangler. 

I followed the installation instruction from website, but it did not work when I tried to start up Emacs. I must have missed something? The error message is "File error: Cannot open load file, /ESSDIR/ess-5.8/lisp/ess-site". I just don't know why.

My operating system is,
Mac OS X version 10.5.8

Thanks for your time

Kevin
