Problems with ess-mode under woody
Is anyone else having problems using ess-mode? It wasn't coming up at all
after a simple apt-get install ess, so I edited /etc/emacs/50ess.el to
contain:
(require 'ess-site)
Now it still doesn't come up automatically, but I can do M-x ess-mode. But
then I just get:
Wrong type argument: syntax-table-p, nil
I don't know (nearly) enough about emacs to be able to diagnose this, but
I do know that on my home machine simply opening a file with the
appropriate extension (R, S, sps, do, etc.) starts ess appropriately. This
works for other types (CPerl, for example), but not ess. Any advice?
Version information:
GNU Emacs 20.7.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Thu Apr 4 2002 on
cyberhq modified by Debian
ii ess 5.1.20-2 Emacs statistics mode, supporting R,S
and ot
Thanks.
