Hi Thomas,
it is not working for me. During the update of R (2.6.0 -> 2.7.0) 
r-cran-rcompgen is removed (Debian/Sid). When I try to start RKWard I get 
"/usr/bin/rkward.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libRlapack.so: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

My "solution" was to downgrade all R packages and to reinstall r-cran-rcompgen 
(0.1-17-1).

Unfortunately I'm offline during the weekend. But I'll will check my e-mail in 
the afternoon for the case you read this message and need more details.
