Over the past couple of weeks, I've been having some issues with emacs
hanging on startup. I usually kill the process, but inadvertently left
it in the background today, noting much later that it ended up
starting. I played with commenting out various parts of my config
until I narrowed things down to the line:

(require 'ess-site)

the message buffer displays "enabling speedbar support" for a
reeeaaally long time before it eventually starts up.

I tried debug-on-signal and eval-expression-debug-on-error... I'm not
sure what is supposed to happen with debug options, but no debug
buffer pops up. The only lines that appear relevant in *Messages* are:

ad-handle-definition: `ess-indent-command' got redefined
ad-handle-definition: `ess-eval-line-and-step' got redefined

How might I diagnose this further?. I'm not familiar with chasing down
Emacs issues other than narrowing it down to a config file option.

I can reproduce this with:
- emacs -Q
- putting this in the buffer

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/ess/lisp")
(require 'ess-site)

- M-x eval-region on the above two lines


Thanks for any suggestions,
John

  I would install latest ess fresh.
  
  What version of emacs?  The package manager is a moving target these days.
  
  Try to use the package manager to interactively install the latest

  Then, M-x list-packages and install it by positioning the cursor on the line mentioning the ess package from melpa and typing "I".
  
  The type "x" to execute your decision, and confirm with "yes".
  
  Now, delete or move/hide your old ess bits and restart emacs.
  
  Did it work?

    I wondered about that as well, so I tried that prior to posting here.
    Sorry, I should have listed my version, which is now 15.03-1.
    
    > What version of emacs?  The package manager is a moving target these days.
    
    GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.16.2)
    (installed via Arch Linux standard package)

    I could do this, though I've sort of decided to steer away from
    packages and just manage things manually via my ~/.elisp/site-lisp
    folder. Would this have an affect? My process was to simply download
    the .zip of ESS, and unpack to ~/.elisp/site-lisp/ess (after deleting
    the old version). This way, my .emacs can continue to point to
    ~/.elisp/site-lisp/ess/lisp regardless of what version I have.
    
    If manual vs. [m]elpa would make a difference, I suppose I could give
    the above a whirl.
    
    
    Best regards,
    John

      Well, you'll get everything compiled if you use the package manager.  Worth it just for that!  There are other ways to get those files byte-compiled, but the package manager is probably the best.
      
      Also, the package manager can help you discover when updates exist to ALL your eamcs packages.  Worth learning for that.
      
      OTOH, as I said, it has been in flux lately and is still a moving target.
      
      BTW, when did you last update emacs?
      
      And, does (require 'ess-site) ALL BY ITSELF generate your error?

        ESS is sounding like compilation is optional, and I never have.

        Definitely. I may look into that. I pretty much just use Org and R, so
        not super worried about it, but I really don't know enough to
        understand what other packages ship with emacs that I could/should be
        updating!

        Yup, see the original email:
        
        #+begin_quote
        
        I can reproduce this with:
        - emacs -Q
        - putting this in the buffer
        
        (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/ess/lisp")
        (require 'ess-site)
        
        - M-x eval-region on the above two lines
        
        #+end_quote
        
        
        Thanks for the assistance!

          John, still recommend you try fresh ess, compiled via package manager.  Also, update any packages needing updated.  Maybe speedbar?
          
          I'm dry,
          
          Best,

            So, I followed your nice ELPA instructions, and things worked. Then I
            wondered if it was compilation related, so I did that in my manually
            downloaded ESS dir and re-enabled my default load path (instead of
            ELPA), and no emacs hang. Then I run make clean, no hang. Then I do
            the emacs -Q method in my original email... hang. Then make again, no
            hang. Then make clean. No hang.
            
            I also played with ess-speedbar-use-p in case it's an issue with that,
            but at this point I feel like I can't reproducibly cause it to hang
            anymore so I don't know what in the world is going on.
            
            Definite wtf moment for me!
            
            
            Thanks for all of your input/suggestions!

              John, 
              
              Glad you're "cooking with ESS".  Gonna hafta chalk your WTF moment up to some butterfly in Kamchatka.  Or was it Saskatchewan? 
              
              BTW, since you said you use org-mode, please note, when you get next perform a fresh install of org-mode, regardless of the  means (package manager, git pull, stork brought it, whatevs), make sure  it is compiled, and in a fresh boot of emacs unsullied by current (and soon to be ancien regime) org-mode.  In other words, run  `emacs -Q` as you do, and install the new org WITHOUT  LOADING THE EXISTING ORG.    You have been warned!

              So, I followed your nice ELPA instructions, and things worked. Then I
              wondered if it was compilation related, so I did that in my manually
              downloaded ESS dir and re-enabled my default load path (instead of
              ELPA), and no emacs hang. Then I run make clean, no hang. Then I do
              the emacs -Q method in my original email... hang. Then make again, no
              hang. Then make clean. No hang.
              
              I also played with ess-speedbar-use-p in case it's an issue with that,
              but at this point I feel like I can't reproducibly cause it to hang
              anymore so I don't know what in the world is going on.
              
              Definite wtf moment for me!
              
              
              Thanks for all of your input/suggestions!
