Please ignore (and excuse) my previous message - it is incomplete.

I'm trying to get R and ESS to work with Xemacs on a newly installed 
SuSE 9.0 system. Is some setup required beyond installing the rpms?  
I've installed the Xemacs packages from SuSE

xemacs-info-21.4.13-35
xemacs-packages-el-20030629-37
xemacs-21.4.13-35
xemacs-el-21.4.13-35
xemacs-packages-info-20030629-37
xemacs-packages-20030629-37

R-base-1.8.1-3.i586.rpm (from the SuSE 9.0 directory on CRAN)

and

ess-5.2.0beta3-1.i586.rpm     R-base-1.8.1-3.i586.rpm

The usual 'M-x R' command sequence is not recognized by Xemacs. I 
vaguely recall a requirement (in older versions) to add something to the 
.xemacs file, but haven't been able to find anything about this in the 
ESS web page or on this list.

Thanks,

You need something like 

(require 'ess-site) 

in your .xemacs/init.el file.    I'd suggest posting to the ESS-help
list, though.
