ess-mode fails to start s-plus process correctly










0















When trying to start S-plus 6.2.1 for linux using Emacs 25.2.1 lucid and ess-17.11.2 under Elementary OS 5.0 (based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS), I get the following error:



ess-command: Wrong number of arguments: #[(com &optional buf sleep) "Á!" [com ess-eval-linewise] 2
("/usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/ess/ess-dde.elc" . 4843)], 7


It seems that an S+ process is running, but when I try to issue a command, I get this error:



ess-get-process: No ESS process is associated with this buffer now


How do I fix it? I tried with ess-18.10, but got another error telling that it could not find the Splus program although it is in the PATH.

  • you want the latest ESS, and did you try customizing the inferior-S+-program

  • Thanks for the hint. However, when using ess-18.10 the inferior-S+-program already points to "Splus" which is in the exec-path.

  • so M-x (executable-find "Splus") finds the program?

  • It could not immediately find Splus, but after I made a soft link to Splus in /usr/bin, M-x (executable-find "Splus")finds the program "/usr/local/bin/Splus". However, I still get the error: S: The emacs variable ‘inferior-S+-program’ does not point to S-Plus 6 or 7 or 8. Please add ‘splus[678]?/cmd’ (expand the ‘[678]?’ to match your setup) to your ‘exec-path’ or specify the complete path to ‘Splus.exe’ in the variable ‘inferior-S+-program’ in your ‘.emacs’ file
