Hi,

I'm having some problems setting up R to use with ESS in Xemac.

I am trying to follow the instructions here under the Xemac install

http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/readme.html#Microsoft-Windows-installation

When I get to step step 4, I don't have the file init.el in my subdirectory
that I've just created.

What I've done is created a new text file, added in (load
"C:/ess/ess-VERSION/lisp/ess-site"), changing the directory to where I
unziped my ESS file. Then renamed this text file as init.el.

When I restart Xemacs, I now get an error saying:

(1) (initialization/error) An error has occurred while loading
c:\Users\hp\.xemacs\init.el:
Wrong number of arguments: define-obsolete-function-alias, 3
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause of the error
in your initialization file and remove it.  Use the `-debug-init' option
to XEmacs to view a complete error backtrace.

I am wondering if the init.el file needs to be more than that one line, (load
"C:/ess/ess-VERSION/lisp/ess-site").

I'm on Windows 7, using Xemacs-21.4.22, ESS -13.05, my home directory is
 c:\Users\hp\.

Also I'm trying to add the line to start R in my init file as well, (setq
inferior-R-program-name "c:/progra~1/R/R-2.15.1/bin/Rterm.exe").
However I'm not sure what the progra~1 is and what it has to do with the
PATH environment variable.

Thanks!
Arne
