Thanks Rodney,

Sysadmins did the installation, which is when I presume everything was 
byte-compiled.

At any rate, setting ess-etc-directory did not result in ESS loading.  I 
still get the message "Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or 
directory, ess.rd.el".  Yet, ess.rd.el is present. Naively, it looks to 
me as if (add-to-list 'load-path "/apps/x86_64/emacs/ess-18.10.2/") is 
not being executed.
