Dear help-list,
because of my request, ESS was installed in our faculties' UNIX-net by our
system administrator. At the moment, we have only R installed to be used
with ESS, no other statistical software.
Reading the ESS online-manual and the R-FAQ, I did not find out how to
start ESS. The chapter on "Using R" in the ESS-manual seems to be missing
(this holds as well for the WWW-manual at the eth-zurich).
I understand the "How to start ESS"-part as follows: I simply have to start
emacs and then I can start an S-session with M-x S.
This gives "no match", which is not very surprising, because S is not
installed.
But M-x R does as well give "no match".
If I start emacs with a source file with the ending ".S",
I get a kind of syntax highlighting. For ".R", this does not work.
Very strange.
Possible reasons:
-> I missed an important passage while reading the manual or FAQ.
-> Our installation did not succeed. (But our sysadmin told that everything
looked nice).
-> There is something to do which is explained nowhere.
Can you help me?
Best regards,
Christian
