: Martin Maechler was kind enough to add the above to the ESS Makeconf for future versions of ESS, Aquamacs users should simply have to uncomment the appropriate lines in the Makeconf file. There are more than 100 alternatives to Aquamacs Emacs for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD and Chrome OS. Done! Hopefully this post will save someone the trouble of figuring out where ESS hides deep inside the Aquamacs.app package. Aquamacs Emacs is described as An Editor for Text, HTML, LaTeX, C++, Java, Python, R, Perl, Ruby, PHP, and more and is a Text Editor in the Development category. Then gmake install and the updated ESS will overwrite the old version inside the app package. Open Terminal.app, cd to the directory created when you extracted ESS (tip: drag the little folder icon from the top of the Finder window to copy the path). I’ve been a little disappointed because the Aquamacs functionality hadn’t yet updated to include much of the new functionality of Emacs 24. Unarchive ESS and navigate to the folder created edit Makeconf to set the following: DESTDIR=/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/aquamacs/edit-modesĮMACS=/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs The new release of Aquamacs came out today, which I was pretty excited about. The latest ESS is 5.13, available from … ads/ess/ess-5.13.tgz the easiest way to install is described by Simon Jackman here and elaborated below:

Given the opportunity to procrastinate, I dropped everything and upgraded returning to work, I noticed that the version of ESS shipped with Aquamacs 2.2 is ESS 5.8, released over a year ago.
