Installing EMACS is quite simple; however, ESS is a bit tricky to install. Anyway, after I read this post from the R-help mailing list, life is a lot easier. Thank you very much Schwartz.
That being said, it is easy enough to run ESS using the tarball, which is the current version as compared to the RPM. Un-tar it someplace and then add:
(load "PATH/TO/ess-5.3.11/lisp/ess-site")
in your ~/.emacs file so that it gets loaded. 'ess-site' actually
points to the lisp file 'ess-site.el' which will be in the 'lisp'
folder in the un-tarred file tree.
BTW, there is an ESS specific list:
and a newly formatted web site here with docs:
