Dear ESS team,

I have tried 2 ways of installation:
1. one-click installation from
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:dsteuer/openSUSE_11.2/emacs-ess.ymp
2. extraction of the ess-5.8.tgz download to
/usr/local/share/xemacs/site-packages
    and adding the line (load
"/usr/local/share/xemacs/site-packages/ess-5.8/lisp/ess-site") to my
~/.xemacs/init.el file
    via the options/edit-init-file menu option in Xemacs.

I have not changed anything in the ess-site.el file.

However, whatever I do, I do not get the *ESS* buffer as I am led to expect
by /usr/local/share/xemacs/site-packages/ess-5.8/doc/readme.pdf
when I start Xemacs.
I get the following two lines in the Xemacs window at the bottom:

UTF8-----L1 C0 All     *scratch* (Fundamental)---------------------------
Loading this file requires xemacs, (null (function-max-args 'throw))

When I click in the window the lower line goes blank.
When I invoke M-x R, I get "[No match]"

My R version is 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)
and it does start when I invoke it as "R" in a terminal window.

Do you have a How2 or a FAQ for Xemacs-ESS installation questions?
What can I check?

Best regards
Martin Burschka
