Hi,

I´ve had exactely the same problems with SuSE 6.3 and ESS. The Problem
is, that SuSE changed the permisions of the ptty* from 6.2 to 6.3 and
ESS (and some other programms like the debugger xxgdb) has got some
problems with these changes. 

Look at:

http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/de/html/ke_devpts-63.html

for a solution. (Don´t know if this page is available in english too.)

The easieset, but insecure way

chmod 666 /dev/pty*


Or set the s-bit for xemcas/emacs and other applications by

chmod g+s $(which xemacs)
chgrp tty $(which xemacs) or emacs.
