Hi!

Ok, so somehow the wrong version of R, or of RKWard is being used. Mixing several
versions of R and RKWard on a single system is possible, but has a whole lot
of pitfalls. My first guess is that you have made more that one attempt at compiling
and installing RKWard 0.5.4, and now there are several versions of rkward on
your system, some of which are broken...

For diagnostics, try
[code]which rkward[/code]
and
[code]find /usr -name "rkward"[/code]

Also check whether the path returned by
[code]kde4-config --prefix[/code]
looks sensible. (Or, easiest, perhaps, run "make install", again, and look closely,
where files are being installed, to).

The "rkward" command itself is just a small shell script. Please try opening
that in a text editor. Around line 4, you will find
[code]export R_binary=...[/code]
Obviously, this should point to the R executable that you specified on the cmake
line. If it points to R 2.11.0, instead, it probably belongs to a different
installation of RKWard.

Does any of that provide a useful hint?

Regards
Thomas
