Interaction of ESS and gud-mode for gdb debugger

2009-12-04T10:52:47Z

I'm not sure if this is an interaction of gud-mode and ESS but I am
unable to use gdb on compiled R code in the way that I could
previously.

The operating system is Ubuntu 9.10 on an amd64 desktop running what
is still called emacs-snapshot, even though it is now the released
version. To be specific the emacs is

GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of
2009-09-27 on crested, modified by Debian

with ESS version 5.4. The version of gdb is

GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0-ubuntu

I'm not sure what the version of gud-mode is but it would be the
version shipped with this emacs as I haven't altered it since the
initial install.

The way that I debug compiled code for R is to start R with ESS (i.e.
M-x R), load any packages that I need, then start gdb on the R
executable. At that point I determine the process number of the R
process (e.g. M-! pgrep R) and in the gud-gdb buffer attach the
debugger to that process and set any necessary breakpoints. In the
past the gud-gdb buffer would show that it was reading the symbols
from the various shared objects then it would give a prompt where I
could set breakpoints. The *R* buffer would be frozen while this was
going on. To return control of the R process you send the 0 signal
(i.e. sig 0) from the *gud-gdb* buffer.

I still get the output about reading the symbol tables but I no longer
get a prompt in the *gud-gdb*. If I try to recover a prompt, say with
C-g, the R process in the *R* buffer is killed.

I imagine this change is documented somewhere and I could find out by
reading the gdb and perhaps the gud-mode documentation but right now I
would really prefer to spend my time debugging my code, instead of
learning about new capabilities. Does anyone have any hints of where
to look or what to do?

ESS 5.6 released

2009-12-04T09:14:57Z

Dear ESS lovers,

we've decided to release ESS 5.6 as it contains
a small change to make it work seemlessly with 'R-devel' (the R
2.11.0 unstable development version).
Apart from that it contains some cleanup (fixes); also related
to using SAS.

Here's the (first part of the) ANNOUNCE file:

1 ANNOUNCING ESS
****************

The ESS Developers proudly announce the release of ESS

5.6

Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) provides an intelligent, consistent
interface between the user and the software. ESS interfaces with
S-PLUS, R, SAS, BUGS and other statistical analysis packages under the
Unix, Microsoft Windows, and Apple Mac OS operating systems. ESS is a
package for the GNU Emacs and XEmacs text editors whose features ESS
uses to streamline the creation and use of statistical software. ESS
knows the syntax and grammar of statistical analysis packages and
provides consistent display and editing features based on that
knowledge. ESS assists in interactive and batch execution of
statements written in these statistical analysis languages.

ESS is freely available under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Please read the file COPYING which comes with the distribution, for
more information about the license. For more detailed information,
please read the README files that come with ESS.

1.1 Getting the Latest Version
==============================

The latest released version of ESS is always available on the web at:
ESS web page (http://ess.r-project.org)

The latest development version of ESS is available via
`https://svn.R-project.org/ESS/', the ESS Subversion repository. If
you have a Subversion client (see `http://subversion.tigris.org/'), you
can download the sources using:
% svn checkout https://svn.r-project.org/ESS/trunk PATH
which will put the ESS files into directory PATH. Later, within
that directory, `svn update' will bring that directory up to date.
Windows-based tools such as TortoiseSVN are also available for
downloading the files. Alternatively, you can browse the sources with a
web browser at: ESS SVN site (https://svn.r-project.org/ESS/trunk).
However, please use a subversion client instead to minimize the load
when retrieving.

If you remove other versions of ESS from your emacs load-path, you
can then use the development version by adding the following to .emacs:

(load "/path/to/ess-svn/lisp/ess-site.el")

Note that https is required, and that the SSL certificate for the
Subversion server of the R project is

Certificate information:
- Hostname: svn.r-project.org
- Valid: from Jul 16 08:10:01 2004 GMT until Jul 14 08:10:01 2014 GMT
- Issuer: Department of Mathematics, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland, CH
- Fingerprint: c9:5d:eb:f9:f2:56:d1:04:ba:44:61:f8:64:6b:d9:33:3f:93:6e:ad

(currently, there is no "trusted certificate"). You can accept this
certificate permanently and will not be asked about it anymore.

1.2 Current Features
====================

* Languages Supported:
* S family (S 3/4, S-PLUS 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x, and R)

* SAS

* BUGS/JAGS

* Stata

* XLispStat including Arc and ViSta

* Editing source code (S family, SAS, BUGS/JAGS, XLispStat)
* Syntactic indentation and highlighting of source code

* Partial evaluation of code

* Loading and error-checking of code

* Source code revision maintenance

* Batch execution (SAS, BUGS/JAGS)

* Use of imenu to provide links to appropriate functions

* Interacting with the process (S family, SAS, XLispStat)
* Command-line editing

* Searchable Command history

* Command-line completion of S family object names and file
names

* Previewing

1.3 Requirements
================

ESS is most likely to work with current/recent versions of the following
statistical packages: R/S-PLUS, SAS, Stata and JAGS. The one exception
is BUGS which is quite old, but should still work.

ESS supports current/recent versions of GNU Emacs and XEmacs. Most
notably, the GNU Emacs 22 series and XEmacs 21.4.14 or higher
(beta/pre-release versions are NOT SUPPORTED).

1.4 Stability
=============

All released versions (5.x, x >= 4) are meant to be release-quality
versions. While some new features are being introduced, we are
cleaning up and improving the interface. We know about some remaining
documentation inconsistencies. Patches or suggested fixes with bug
reports are much appreciated!

1.5 Mailing List
================

There is a mailing list for discussions and announcements relating to
ESS. Join the list by sending an e-mail with "subscribe ess-help" (or
"help") in the body to <ess-help-request@...>;
contributions to the list may be mailed to
<ess-help@...>. Rest assured, this is a fairly
low-volume mailing list.

The purposes of the mailing list include

* helping users of ESS to get along with it.

* discussing aspects of using ESS on Emacs and XEmacs.

* suggestions for improvements.

* announcements of new releases of ESS.

* posting small patches to ESS.

1.6 Reporting Bugs
==================

Please send bug reports, suggestions etc. to
<ESS-bugs@...>

The easiest way to do this is within Emacs by typing

`M-x ess-submit-bug-report'

This also gives the maintainers valuable information about your
installation which may help us to identify or even fix the bug.

If Emacs reports an error, backtraces can help us debug the problem.
Type "M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET". Then run the
command that causes the error and you should see a *Backtrace* buffer
containing debug information; send us that buffer.

Note that comments, suggestions, words of praise and large cash
donations are also more than welcome.

1.7 Authors
===========

* A.J. Rossini (mailto:blindglobe@...)

* Richard M. Heiberger (mailto:rmh@...)

* Kurt Hornik (mailto:Kurt.Hornik@...)

* Martin Maechler (mailto:maechler@...)

* Rodney A. Sparapani (mailto:rsparapa@...)

* Stephen Eglen (mailto:stephen@...)

1.8 License
===========

ESS is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later
version.

ESS is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License
in the file COPYING in the same directory as this file for more details.

1.9 New Features
================

Changes/New Features in 5.6:
* ESS[R]: help() calls have to differ from old default, with
newer versions of R; currently via .help.ESS <-
function(...) hack.

Changes/New Features in 5.4:
* ESS[SAS]: The long overdue change from `make-regexp' to
`regexp-opt' for font-locking is complete. The new
`regexp-opt' is now the default since it is better than the
old code in many ways (and especially more maintainable).
However, there are certainly some special cases missed (bug
reports and patches welcome!). Setting
`ess-sas-run-regexp-opt' to `nil' will result in the old code
being used.

* ESS[BUGS] and ESS[JAGS]: typing `=' now results in `<-'.

* ESS[R] function arguments "show" `(ess-r-args-show)' now
uses the new `(tooltip-show-at-point)' contributed by Erik
Iverson.

* Toolbar icons now also work in (beta) Emacs 23.

* ESS[S]: New function `ess-change-directory' for setting both
emacs' current directory and the directory of an *R* or *S*
buffer.

* ESS[S] when transient-mark-mode is true, the mark is now kept,
rather than deactivated, thanks to a patch from David Reitter.

html help in R 2.10 (Linux)

2009-12-04T04:04:40Z

I would like to use the html help in R. In .Rprofile, I have (among
other options):
options(browser="/home/baron/firefox/firefox",help_type="html")

It works but it has two problems. First, if I say
?sum
in the R window in emacs, for example, ESS splits the frame and opens
a blank frame in the bottom half, which I do not want and have to kill
manually.

Second, if I ask for help again, ESS opens a new browser window. At
the end of the sessions I have several windows open, which I must
close manually. I would like everything to appear in the same
window of firefox.

yes, it has been the intention [and yes, sometimes this
is inconvenient]:

The idea has probably always been that an R output file
is something "precious" that you don't want to accidentally change:
most of those I use are 'foo.Rout' , the result of
R CMD BATCH foo.R and I'd typically use BATCH for expensive
long simulations.

When this feature had been introduced (in 'S-mode'),
for S transcripts, more than 20 years ago (~ ten years before R was "born")
emacs users were more sophisticated in using and knowing key
strokes {Emacs 18.x and 19.x had no menus IIRC}, and the
developers back then will have assumed --- most
probably correctly --- that all users would know C-x C-q.

So far the historical background.

I'm not against giving up this feature of protecting precious
output from accidental user modification, but neither will I
implement the change and modify the documentation in the correct
places.
(but others are very welcome to !)

Thanks! I tried to do this, but then I got the error "no process in buffer"
(or similar).

Ican confirm this behaviour, and a quick glance at the code didn't
reveal any obvious reason why this would be the case. But as I don't
use transcripts, I'm not sure if there is a good reason for this.

For now, the workaround is that once R has started, you can do

C-x C-q

to toggle the read-only status and then use R.

Hi Professor Harrell,
The first problem is probably due to this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550541 and the
workaround is run export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before starting emacs.
It's very annoying, hopefully they will fix it soon.

Problem with menus with emacs 23.1.1; suppressing extra window

2009-12-03T08:24:36Z

In running the latest debian ess with emacs 23.1.1 I am getting empty
menus (Imenu-S, ESS). I'm using R 2.10.0 on ubuntu karmic. My .emacs
is below.

Secondly, the the html help system when used with ess opens an empty
emacs frame when help is called. I would prefer suppressing that.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Perhaps it is. Many of these files are protected since you can
brainfart and edit the wrong one (SAS .log files come to mind as well).
Nevertheless, emacs, in it's infinite wisdom, has a way. Just toggle
read-only and Jack's your uncle.

(ess-ask-about-transfile t) problem

2009-12-03T07:45:29Z

Hola!

I experimented putting
(setq ess-ask-about-transfile t)
in my .emacs file. Then, when starting a new R process in emacs and
giving a transcript file name, R starts in a READONLY buffer, so I can give
no commands!

That can't be the intention???

This is ess version 5.5
R 2.10.0
ubuntu 9.10
emacs 23.1.1

Re: R code gives error in Emacs but not in Tinn-R

Hi Deb,
You have to make sure that the current version of R is in your path.

Subject: [ESS] R code gives error in Emacs but not in Tinn-R

Dear ESS users,

Thanks in advance.

I am new to ESS.

I am using GNU Emacs-23.1.1 [GNU Emacs and ESS - All-in-one installation
file for MS Windows, by Vincent Goulet].

I am using R 2.10.0 on Windows XP.

I need you assistance to solve the problem below:

1. Running R Code using Emacs

library(foreach)

I have selected only the above line and then use C-c C-r to run.

Then I have got this message below:

Error in library(foreach) : there is no package called 'foreach'

Note: I am 100% sure this library is installed.

2. Running R Code using Tinn-R

library(foreach)

I have selected only the above line and then run in Tinn-R.

It has run without any problem.

Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.

I am looking forward for your reply.

Regards,

Deb

Clearly that is not the case, as R tells you.

Are you sure that both ESS and Tinn-R refers to the same version of R? Specifically, I would execute the following two commands in both R's and compare their results:

R.home()
.libPaths()

If the output differs between ESS and Tinn-R, you have your answer.

R code gives error in Emacs but not in Tinn-R

2009-11-30T20:24:21Z

Dear ESS users,

Thanks in advance.

I am new to ESS.

I am using GNU Emacs-23.1.1 [GNU Emacs and ESS - All-in-one installation file for MS Windows, by Vincent Goulet].

I am using R 2.10.0 on Windows XP.

I need you assistance to solve the problem below:

1. Running R Code using Emacs

library(foreach)

I have selected only the above line and then use C-c C-r to run.

Then I have got this message below:

Error in library(foreach) : there is no package called 'foreach'

Note: I am 100% sure this library is installed.

2. Running R Code using Tinn-R

library(foreach)

I have selected only the above line and then run in Tinn-R.

It has run without any problem.

Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.

I am looking forward for your reply.

Regards,

Deb

Don't touch
C:\emacs\emacs-23.1-bin-i386\emacs-23.1\site-lisp\subdirs.el

The ESS instructions say you must add the line

(load-file "C:/ess/ess-5.5/lisp/ess-site.el")

to the intialization file ~/.emacs

Open emacs, then
C-x C-f ~/.emacs
Type the line as above.
Save the file with C-x C-s
Close emacs and restart emacs.

Re: "No ESS process is associated with this buffer now"

2009-11-30T11:36:35Z

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Unsurprisingly, mail problems precluded sending the bug report direct
from windows. I'm pasting it in here (and attempting a submission to
the bug system), with some addition responses to your questions at the
bottom.

Using Goulet's package on Windows XP. I unzipped a beta ESS 5.6 over
the existing lisp directory (and some other spots as well when I
started), then unzipped the released 5.5 in the same spot. Same
behavior either way. The startup messages indicate I'm picking up the
expected versions. Here's a recipe with a controlled start up
environment.

Launch command prompt for Windows. In that prompt...
cd \Program Files\GNU Emacs\bin
emacs.exe -q

Drag the following file, t1.R, into the emacs window:
ta <- "hi there"

In emacs, type esc-x R enter
R 2.10 is the version it selects.
Start it one directory above the t1.R (to avoid saved history and data
in the t1.R directory).
R launches and shows the customary prompts.
In the t1.R buffer type c-c c-l
The display line at the bottom shows
"No ESS process is associated with this buffer now"

While composing this message I revisited t1.R; c-c c-l worked this time
and thereafter. However, when I restarted emacs and repeated the steps
above, repeated c-c c-l simply repeated the first time error message.

Help installing ESS on Windows Vista

2009-11-30T09:38:39Z

Hi,
I have Emacs 23.1 and ESS version 5.5. I unpacked ESS in C:\ESS and Emacs is in C:\Emacs. I tried to change the

C:\emacs\emacs-23.1-bin-i386\emacs-23.1\site-lisp\subdirs.el to add each of (load "C:/ess/ess-5.5/lisp/ess-site") and (require 'ess-site). With either line added EMACS would not start but with the line removed it starts. I am not an expert in installing open source software. Please advise (I am probably doing something very silly.

Best,
Evan Misshula

Could you try? I'd be really glad if you could check if your
problem does (not) happen when using ESS 5.5.

We'd be glad for a more detailled (bug) report, with exact key
strokes etc...
The last entry in both ESS (Emacs) menues is called
"Send bug report".
Please use that even if it's only for the development version of
ESS and not the released one.

"No ESS process is associated with this buffer now"

2009-11-30T07:50:58Z

Using the development version of ESS 5.6 from Nov 2, I get the error in
the subject when I try to c-c c-l an R file. This happens whether are
start the R process before or after editing the R file.

Calling switch process in the .R buffer corrects the problem. Is there
a better way? My recollection is that in previous versions things just
worked.

Well, I found that I can get the inferior R process to run by running the command M-x R. My unsuccessful attempts were when using the R icon on the menu bar. Emacs-ESS would open a window looking for a directory to run in, but I couldn't find anyway to specify the directory and couldn't proceed any further. I at least can now use Emacs-ESS to edit and run R scripts.

help needed installing emacs-ess on Windows 7

2009-11-28T11:38:53Z

I am trying to install Emacs and ESS on a Windows 7 system. I downloaded the emacs-23.1-modified-3.exe bundled installer from http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/ressources/emacs/ . The installer ran without producing any error messages, and I can see the Emacs directories with the ESS subdirectories underneath. However, I can't seem to get an inferior R process running or evaluate any R code. I don't know if there is something I haven't done that I should have, or if Windows 7 is doing something unexpected by the installer. R and Emacs are in the system path.

Has anyone been successful installing this software on Windows 7? If not, I am not wedded to this particular distribution. I am willing to install any distribution that will work. If someone could point me to directions for installing on Windows 7 I would be grateful.

Re: Customizing the Syntax Highlighting in R

G'day, Andreas and the list,

Byte-compiling the ess-cust.el file was the answer. Thanks! A nice
thing to happen on a Friday afternoon.

Subject: Re: [ESS] Customizing the Syntax Highlighting in R

Hi Peter,

just tried it and it works for me. I'm not sure whether Vincent's
distribution includes the byte compiled files (.elc), but my guess would
be that this is where things go off the rails.

Try this:
* Open the ess-cust.el
* Find the line for ess-R-keywords and add "ls" at the end, so it reads:

(defvar ess-R-keywords
'("while" "for" "in" "repeat" "if" "else" "switch" "break" "next"
"function" "return" "message" "warning" "stop" "ls"))

* Save the file (it's an easy change to reverse) and then select the
"Emacs-Lisp" menu entry and chose "Byte-compile This File".
* Exit Emacs and start it again.
* Open a transcript file (.R) file and type the ls command which should
fontify properly.

Hope that helps and works for you - just remember that you'll need to
make this change whenever you upgrade Vincent's distribution or install
a new version of ESS.

G'day, McKay and others,

I tried the hack below but unfortunately it didn't work for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions what I should look for to work out why?
Please bear in mind I am an Emacs novice!

I'm using Vincent Goulet's Emacs 23.1 + ESS 5.4 package under
Windows XP SP2.

Looking forward to some interesting suggestions,

Peter

Re: Customizing the Syntax Highlighting in R

Hi Peter,

just tried it and it works for me. I'm not sure whether Vincent's
distribution includes the byte compiled files (.elc), but my guess would be
that this is where things go off the rails.

Try this:
* Open the ess-cust.el
* Find the line for ess-R-keywords and add "ls" at the end, so it reads:

(defvar ess-R-keywords
'("while" "for" "in" "repeat" "if" "else" "switch" "break" "next"
"function" "return" "message" "warning" "stop" "ls"))

* Save the file (it's an easy change to reverse) and then select the
"Emacs-Lisp" menu entry and chose "Byte-compile This File".
* Exit Emacs and start it again.
* Open a transcript file (.R) file and type the ls command which should
fontify properly.

Hope that helps and works for you - just remember that you'll need to make
this change whenever you upgrade Vincent's distribution or install a new
version of ESS.

There appears to be some interaction with CC mode bindings. Following
the recommendations in the R Coding Standards (R Internals manual), I
have:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(c-set-style "bsd")
(setq c-basic-offset 4)))

which achieves 4-space indentation, although ess-indent-level is 2.

Yes, that does indent by four spaces. Thanks.

Also, FYI, I ran the Emacs "describe-variable" function as indicated in the
appended text. It appears that Emacs "sees" the value of 4 that I set, but
it's using a local value of 2. I was unable to find a way to override that
local value.

-- Mike

ess-indent-level is a variable defined in `ess-cust.el'.
Its value is 2
Local in buffer scratch.r; global value is 4

Documentation:
*Indentation of S statements with respect to containing block.

You can customize this variable.

hi Michael,

Could you try the following (I think our customize is not working)

(defun myindent-ess-hook ()
(setq ess-indent-level 4))

(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook 'myindent-ess-hook)

Put that in .emacs and restart Emacs.

It looks like our customizations are not working properly, as
ess-indent-level is customizable but is not being remembered. I will
investigate, but in the meantime, this should work for you:

put this in .emacs and restart Emacs:

(defun myindent-ess-hook ()
(setq ess-indent-level 4))

(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook 'myindent-ess-hook)

Re: synthax higlighting \Sexpr in .Rnw files

Hi all,

just had a play with this (a bit late, but it was driving me up the wall too
:) ).

One way that worked was via customizing the variable
"LaTeX-verbatim-macros-with-braces" (just insert a new value and type in
"Sexpr" - without the quotes and save the customisation)

The AucTeX documentation for this variable does indicate:

Programs should not use this variable directly but the function
`LaTeX-verbatim-macros-with-braces' which returns a value
including buffer-local keyword additions via
`LaTeX-verbatim-macros-with-braces-local' as well.

but getting help on the 'local' version doesn't allow you to customize that
variable.

Cheers,

Andreas

Re: To run a block of R code using Emacs and ESS

2009-11-25T22:17:33Z

Suggestion: start R from this directory, rather than from the GNU buffer.
This can be done by opening the directory, or some file in it (C-x C-f).

To automate the above, you could add to your .emacs: (dired "F:/R-2.10.0/bin")

Re: problems trying to install ESS package

2009-11-25T21:41:58Z

There is only one .emacs file.

The "~" refers to your home directory, and emacs understands this.
To satisfy your curiosity, If you want to know the absolute path to
your home directory, open up a shell and type: echo $HOME (if you
use Windows, it's: echo %HOME%)

But if you use emacs to modify the .emacs, you don't need to worry
about the absolute path. Simply open "~/.emacs", and you will see your
.emacs (if you have one).

FWIW, I don't use (require 'ess-site). On my .emacs, I only have
(load-file "C:\\progra~1\\emacs\\emacs-22.3\\site-lisp\\ess-5.4\\lisp\\ess-site.el")
