Hi<br>I am a newbie in linux and R. I installed Kubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and installed R(built from source) and then RKWARD following the instructions. Now though the instruction is complete rkward cannot function because it has an error related to the backend and it says :<br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">There was a problem starting the R backend. The following error(s) occurred:</p>
<p style="margin: 12px 0px; text-indent: 0px;"> The 'rkward' R-library either could not be loaded at all, or not in the
correct version. This may lead to all sorts of errors, from single
missing features to complete failure to function. The most likely cause
is that the last installation did not place all files in the correct
place. However, in some cases, left-overs from a previous installation
that was not cleanly removed may be the cause.<span style="font-weight: 600;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 12px 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: 600;">You should quit RKWard, now, and fix your installation</span>. For help with that, see <a href="http://p.sf.net/rkward/compiling" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 87, 174);">http://p.sf.net/rkward/compiling</span></a>.</p>
<p style="margin: 12px 0px; text-indent: 0px;">-There was a problem
opening the files needed for communication with R. Most likely this is
due to an incorrect setting for the location of these files. Check
whether you have correctly configured the location of the log-files
(Settings->Configure Settings->Logfiles) and restart RKWard.</p>
<p style="margin: 12px 0px; text-indent: 0px;">-An unspecified
error occurred that is not yet handled by RKWard. Likely RKWard will
not function properly. Please check your setup. </p><p>I cannot figure out where I went wrong with compiling steps. I deleted all the old R executable file that I had in my computer before installing the new R from source. Can anyone help me in resolving the issue?</p>
