C-c C-c (comint-interrupt-subjob) with tramp crashes R

When running remote R sessions using tramp, i'm unable to interrupt R
using C-c C-c (or comint-interrupt-subjob). Using C-c C-c results in R
crashing with the message "Process R exited abnormally with code 255".
Does anyone else have this problem? I can't figure out what is going
on as I can't see anything related to this in the message logs.

Problem getting help window to appear within Emacs

I am struggling to figure out why I can't get my help window in an emacs
frame/window.  I have used earlier versions of ESS and R without any
trouble but just came back after a hiatus and embarrassingly can't
figure out this seemingly trivial problem.

I first start emacs -Q
then Eval: (require 'ess-site)
M-x R
After this I then enter a command such as ?ls or help(ls) will pop up a
window in the Window Manager and not in emacs.  How can I get the window
to appear in emacs instead?  I have tried searching for an answer
without luck so I am asking the list.

Thanks in advance

OS: Windows 7 64-bit with  Cygwin

Re: Problem getting help window to appear within Emacs

have you tried setting the variable ess-help-own-frame to nil?

Problems after Debian update

I've just done an apt-get update on Debian unstable, and ESS is acting
strange.

When I try to run Stata, it asks for the starting directory, then hangs
with this message:

Type C-h m for help on ESS version YY.MM

C-g and I can switch to the Stata buffer. There, things work well except
I can't recall commands with C-up-arrow, getting instead:

ess-error: Beggining of input not found

ess-version gives this: 

ess-version : YY.MM YY-MM-rNNNN

This is on emacs-snapshot but a quick test suggests it also holds for
emacs23.

I suspect something has screwed up in the installation.

It looks like ESS waiting for STATA prompt. There have been some changes
in this mechanism several months ago, but I don't think anyone looked
into adjusting STATA. Where can I grab trial stata for linux so I can
figure it out?

It also has to do with the prompt. One thing you can try is to set
comint-use-prompt-regexp to nil:

(add-hook 'ess-post-run-hook
	  (lambda () (when (equal ess-language "STA")
		       (setq comint-use-prompt-regexp nil))))

But I really need stata to solve that for sure.

Is it an emacs window (i.e. frame), or what window is that?  C-c C-v
also gives the same result, right?

Re: C-c C-c (comint-interrupt-subjob) with tramp crashes R


It might not be ESS but emacs+comint thing. Is there a way to run with
tramp some other comint based inferior like *shell* ?

Re: Problem getting help window to appear within Emacs

Ali, It is already set to nil.
I didn't mention the first time I type ?ls I get a beep and only on the
second and subsequent attempts do I get a pop up GUI window.

Here is some gobbledegook I get out in the *ESS* buffer if it helps.

Making Process...Buf *R*, Proc R, Prog C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.14.2/bin/i386/Rterm.exe
 Start File=nil, Args= --ess  .

ess-loc-proc-name is 'R'(ess-multi 2): waiting for process after

Re: Problem getting help window to appear within Emacs

Vitalie,
C-c C-v gives me the same result.  It is definitely not an emacs frame
and looks a lot like a window you would get from the default RGUI.

Regards
Munawar

Re: Problem getting help window to appear within Emacs


What does getOption("help_type") in R says? Set it to "text": 
options(help_type = "text")

It looks like you are running ddeclent (is this how it should be on
cygwin?). I hope Rich can help you better here.
