I have been unable to get ESS to load into Emacs on a CentOS7 compute server on which software is installed in locations that are not part of the FHS. Lines 99 and 100 of my .emacs file contain: (add-to-list 'load-path "/apps/x86_64/emacs/ess-18.10.2/lisp/") (require 'ess-site) A full byte-compiled ESS installation exists in apps/x86_64/emacs/ess-18.10.2. I have tried with and without the final ~lisp/, but neither works. When byte-compiling my .emacs I get the following two related (I think) messages. In the *Messages* buffer I get: ERROR:ess-etc-directory Relative to ess-lisp-directory, one of the following must exist: ../etc/ess, ../etc, ../../etc/ess or ./etc And in the *Compile-log* buffer I get: Compiling file /scicomp/home-pure/wqh4/.emacs at Wed Mar 17 08:25:49 2021 .emacs:100:1:Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, ess-rd.el Note that line 100 in .emacs contains (require 'ess-site). Further, both ess.rd.el and ess.rd.elc exist in /apps/x86_64/emacs/ess-18.10.2/lisp/ and I have read+write permissions on that directory. So it *looks* like /apps/x86_64/emacs/ess-18.10.2/lisp/ is not actually being added to the load path. Any tips? Thanks in advance. -- Steve Gutreuter ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
