[rkward-devel] RKWard problem

[Peter Mayer]

Hi Thomas,

	Thanks again. I'll try to scrub everything and re-install. In the 
meantime, here is what I have found.
i)> Try starting RKWard from

>>    C:\RKWard\KDE\bin\rkward.exe --R C:\RKWard\R\bin\i386\R.exe

	Each of the 'segments' works on its own (i.e. R.exe starts R). 
Together, the usual 'backend' error comes up.
ii) Nothing happens in the RWard R Console window which I assume means 
no R running.
iii) Running R (from CMD) and your suggested commands shows, among other 
things that .libPaths() is looking for the D: (optical on my machine) 
drive (the shortcut to RKWard.exe also tries to open RKWard.exe in D:). 
  I'm attaching a screenshot of the cmd window since I can't remember 
how to extract the text.

best wishes,

Peter
