[RkWard-devel] Compiling problems.

Hi,

This time obviously the path for the includes was correct. However the 
compiled library could not be found. In full the file should be called 
"libR.so". Check whether that's really in /usr/lib/R/bin/ and adjust the 
--with-extra-libs option otherwise.
Does anybody on this list know, where that could be on slackware?

Well, probably you'll have to wait a little while longer. RKWard is not really 
useful yet. That also means that it does not really make much sense yet to 
start with translations.
I'm planning to compile a list of items that people could start working on 
without having to know much about RKWard internals, so if somebody would like 
to contribute, they will have good starting points. For the time being, most 
of these items will require some programming knowledge however, esp. Qt/KDE. 
Once things have stabilized some more, of course, writing documentation and 
translations will be important tasks, and I'd be happy, if your offer would 
still be valid then.
Of course suggestions and bug-reports are useful, too. I appreciate all help I 
can get.
