using emacs under win2000

using emacs under win2000

[Gary Weselle]

Hi

I hope some one could help with this.

Emacs-21.3 and R-2.2.1 and ESS-5.2.12 under window2000pro

My emacs looks like this:

(load "C:/emacs-21.3/ess-5.2.12/lisp/ess-site")

(setq R "C:/Progra~1/R/R-2.2.1/bin/Rterm.exe")

I am logged in as a user and not as admin.

I have HOME and R_USER set in the Environment Variables.



M-x R  gives

ESS [S ( R ) : Rtrem starting data directory? C:/emacs-21.3/bin/ <RET>

Searching for program: no such file or directory, Rterm





C-x f gives

Find file: C:\emacs-21.3\bin/

I would rather see C:\some-other-path\here



Thanks

The last one is the culprit, I think: you need to set the
_environment_ variable R, not an Emacs variable R.  Try this instead:

(setenv "R"  "C:/Progra~1/R/R-2.2.1/bin/Rterm.exe")

that did not do it, the line in question is taken from
http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Microsoft-Windows-installation

The name of the variable set in step 5 is inferior-R-program-name, not R.

just so that I am in line here, what is it looking for? it says data
directory, I don't have a directory named data under C:/Progra~1/R/*
