On 8.0-pre and have never had an issue with R source code blocks
before. I was just trying something simple like:
#+begin_src R :exports results
a <- 1+2
a
#+end_src
I got empty #+results block upon execution and the *Org Babel Error*
(something like that) buffer had an error about the executable not
being found. Adding =:session= produced results, though.
Is there something new about the difference between execution with and
without sessions with R?

I'm able to execute R code on 8.0-pre with or without a session.
Perhaps your `org-babel-R-command' variable doesn't point to R, or maybe
you have a broken install?
If this problem persists please send an error trace (with
`debug-on-error' set to t).
Cheers,

Grr. Apparently R updated on it's own somehow and I missed it. My
org-babel-R-command was pointing to ../2.15.0/bin/ instead of
/2.15.1/bin/.
Updating this fixed the issue.
Is there a better way to set this vs. having to manually update the path?
Thanks,
John

Given the dependence of ob-R.el on ESS, the ESS list might be a better venue
for this query.
The recent release of R-3.0.0 has tripped up some Windows ESS users:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.ess.general/7071
According to the ESS devs, you should not have to hard code paths
in theory, but see [1].

When I first heard it, it was attributed to that immortal philosopher,
Yogi Berra. But I like Jason Fried's dictum:
Attributed to multiple people. It’s
so true that it doesn’t matter who said it.

But wait. If my issue was pointing to the wrong directory, I don't get
why :session vs. not would make a difference?
This is the exact error I get:
'R' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How does :session find R if it's not in Windows path and seems to
depend on explicitly being told where to look via org-babel-R-command?
