Looks like emacs, not R.

One problem is what it says, in your emacs init file, which is
called .emacs.  Look at it.

Another problem - or possibly the same - is that you need ESS in
order to run R this way.  You need to install ESS, and you need a
line in your .emacs file like
(load "/usr/share/emacs/ess-5.1.24/lisp/ess-site")
You may already have this, but, if so, some other error in the
.emacs file is preventing this from working.

If you do not have ESS, get it from
http://software.biostat.washington.edu/ess/
(But see also http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/ for more information.)
Of course, the "load" line above assumes that ESS is installed in
/usr/share/emacs.
