In Emacs + ESS, I can start R console by 

M-x R Return

On my system, auto-complete-mode isn't enabled by now. I have to

M-x auto-complete-mode Return

to enable it.

Is there a way to enable it automaticly?

1 OS:       Ubuntu  12.10   64-bit
2 R:        2.15.1
3 Emacs:    24.1.1
4 ESS:      12.04-4

Thanks.

Nick

I got the same problem and the following code worked for me.

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)  ;load and activate packages, including auto-complete
(ac-config-default)
(setq ess-use-auto-complete 'script-only)
;;if not working, use the following instead of (setq ess-use-auto-complete 'script-only)
;;(global-auto-complete-mode t)

You can set the ess-use-auto-complete variable to t, either via customize or with the following in your .emacs :

(setq ess-use-auto-complete t)
