I can't see, how this could be a problem. For me, it displays the message in 
the rkward console without a problem, and the rkward-code for handling output 
should not really be platform-dependent. Well, maybe you could try running 
rkward with
rkward --debug-level 5
then post the last 30 lines or so of output before the crash.

Good. Finally, I could fix at least one issue for you...

Ok. I have a gut feeling, this is related to the problem with locating libR.so 
you reported earlier. Probably the workaround with copying libR.so 
to /usr/local/lib does not really address the core of the problem. I've asked 
you to do something similar before, but could you try this variant? Run

R.home ()
R.home ("lib")
R.home ("bin")

both in the rkward console and in a plain R terminal. Is there any difference?

Thanks!
