Hi

Would anyone be able to help with the above error message on running latest
svn and git versions of ESS version 13.09-1 (and stable emacs 24.3.1+
bazaar development version 24.3.50.2) just to see if it made a difference
(git ess-20131118.1949 and svn revision 5892)

Basically, eldoc seems to not work either and I think this is related
because ElDoc mode is on status bar.

I get the error message when I try and run standard help with ?ls say

I have tried both emacs 24.3.1 from Fedora 19 and 24.3.50.2 from source and
just used a minimal 2 line init file with

emacs -q -l test-init.el

;; ess mode from svn - latest version 13.09-1 - fedora 19 a year behind
(setq load-path
      (append '("/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess")
              load-path))
(require 'ess-site)

My laptop is running slightly older versions of ESS (only by a week) on
Fedora 19 and desktop at home is Fedora 20 beta etc but both of these seem
to be working perfectly

Any idea on what I may be able to do to fix problem? I am so use to using
?help and the completion with eldoc that this is really slowing me up. I
guess it could be elpa packages etc but thought the '-q -l' would rule that
out

Advice welcome

Thanks a lot!

Cheers
Peter
