I use ESS (12.04), emacs (23.3.1) and R (2.14.1). It works very well, except that I cannot open the help from R if the function is inside the package. For instance:
In R mode (iESS)
> ?ls
I will get a help file, but if I run
> ?caTools::runmean
I get "No documentation for" caTools :: runmean "in the specified packages and libraries: you can try" caTools :: runmean ".
I am sure this is an ESS problem because if I run the command in the R Console, it works fine. The following is a part of the .emacs file related to ESS:
;; ESS mode
(require 'ess-tracebug)
(add-hook 'ess-post-run-hook 'ess-tracebug)
;; Set to open help in a webbrowser
;;(setq inferior-ess-r-help-command "help(\"%s\", help_type=\"html\")\n")
;;(setq ess-help-own-frame t)
;; ESS-R_object-tooltip
;(require 'ess-R-object-tooltip)
;; Auto completion for R
;;(require 'ac-R)
;;(make-local-variable ac-ignore-case)
