Hi,

[quote]I compiled and installed rkward -0.5.2 but there seem to be still problems in coping with the new R help system.[/quote]

could you elaborate on that? I am not currently aware of issues with the new help system.

[code]My question refers to problem of how to uninstall rkward when it was installed via \"make install\" ?[/code]

Well, [code]make uninstall[/code] exists, but this is completely untested, and may or may not work correctly.

RKWard installs data to the following places (use kde-config for KDE3-paths, kde4-config for KDE 4 paths):
[code]kde[4]-config --path data[/code]   (The entire \"rkward\" directory)
[code]kde[4]-config --path xdgdata-apps[/code]   (The file rkward.desktop)
Further files are installed to the R library, and unfortunately, this may be in several places. In general
[code]sudo R CMD REMOVE rkward[/code]
will get you rid of that. You may need to use
[code]sudo R CMD REMOVE -l/usr/lib/R/librarypath rkward[/code]
to get rid of it in non-default places (run .libPaths() in R to get a list of the paths in question).

As a final step, re-install RKWard 0.5.2. The KDE3 and KDE4 versions of RKWard are not designed to be co-installable, so you will probably have deleted some files from 0.5.2, too.

Thomas
