Hello,
 
I used ESS with Xemacs to write SAS at my last job and loved it, but I did not have to set it up—much more technically savvy people did everything for me; all I had to do was write SAS and go!  XWin32 made it possible for even a novice unix user like me to get around easily, and ESS made for straightforward SAS usage in that environment.
 
I would very much like to use ESS to write unix SAS at my current position but am running into major roadblocks finding anyone who can help.  
 
I am using GNU emacs 20.2.1.  I have unpacked the files (v5.11) into an ESS directory in my home directory, but I really have no idea how I should edit the ess-site.el file to make it work.  I attempted to add the load line into my .emacs file without making any changes to ess-site.el 
 

(load "~/ess-5.11/lisp/ess-site")   
where ~ is the path to my home directory and ess-5.11 is the folder where I downloaded everything
 
but that isn’t getting me anywhere.  Unix support at my organization claims to have no knowledge of ESS and will not provide me with any assistance.  Extremely frustrating!
 
Would it be possible for someone to show me EXACTLY how to edit the ess-site file to make it work with GNU emacs 20.2?  Right now I'm getting the error, "Error in init file: File error: "Cannot open load file","ess-5.11/lisp/ess-site" 
 
Thanks in advance and my apologies for being such a noob with this
