That message means that R thinks it is being run non-interactively,
which sounds appropriate in your case. Choose one of the options.
You'll also inappropriately get the message when running R in some
shells that don't look like consoles to R. Then the right solution is
to use --ess (which tells R that despite what it sees, it really is
being run interactively.)

That's because you're using an obsolete version of R, that doesn't
support the integer constant 29L.
