[rkward-devel] R engine has died error

[Chris McNorgan]

Received the following error. Latest version of R was installed this 
morning (for the first time) from the CRAN website on Ubuntu 12.04. 
Following this, package manager was used to install RKWard. Launched 
RKWard for the first time (and all subsequent times), this was the error 
that was generated:
