bug in the interface of ESS, R for linux, S+6 for linux (PR#1028)

1 message · Richard M. Heiberger

#
Object name completion doesn't work on linux.  On S+6 the problem
seems to be that ESS uses the argument `inherits' and S+6 is expecting
`inherit'

       . ".Last.value <- get(\".ess.lvsave\",inherits=T)\n") ; envir=1
       . "assign(\".ess.lvsave\",.Last.value,inherits=T)\n") ;envir=1
  -rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone     7170 Mar  1 13:55 essd-r.el

and

Version 6.0 Release 1 for Linux 2.2.12 : 2000
args(get) 
function(name, where = NULL, frame, inherit = F, immediate = T, meta = 0,
mode = "any")


R uses `inherits'

args(get)
function (x, pos = -1, envir = pos.to.env(pos), mode = "any", 
    inherits = TRUE)
