I finally got round to bisecting my .emacs and worked out the sequence
of events which lead me to shooting myself in the foot:
1. Installed Emacs 25 under /usr/local
2. Discovered that Emacs 25 couldn't find the ESS stuff
3. Defined a variable 'ess-directory' to be "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/"
4. Used the variable in a function to add ESS to the load-path
It turns out that variable 'ess-directory' already exists and is, according
to the documentation, "the directory ESS is run from".
Thus renaming the variable 'ess-directory' to
'non-in-the-foot-shooting-ess-directory' solves the problem.
Cheers,
Loris
