I am trying ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics).
The problem is: Ctrl-P and the up-arrow are disabled on any buffer because of the following error:
Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size
The trigger is the following line in .emacs.el
(require 'ess-site)
This line is needed to load ESS. If I delete this line, then the problems does not happen, but, obviously, I can't use ESS.
Notes:
- "(setq max-lisp-eval-depth 10000)" does not solve the problem.
"(setq max-specpdl-size 32000)" produces a different error:
Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'
When the above two settings are valid, then I get the error for max-lisp-eval-depth.
- This problem happens before M-x R RET. For example, it happens on the scratch buffer just after emacs starts.
- I have not found any other key with this problem. (So Ctrl-F and down-arrow are working, for example.)
- Deleting the ESS buffer does not solve the problem.
The initial message on the ESS buffer is following. (I don't know, whether it is useful.)
[ess-site.el]: ess-customize-alist=nil
