[rkward-devel] RKWard problem

Hi Peter,

ok, time to sum up what we got so far. The first thing is that RKWard 
currently does not work from a path containing spaces on Windows. I'll look 
into fixing that for the next release. For the moment, the workaround is to 
stick to an installation path without spaces.

The second thing is that something breaks R on your system. From your 
screenshot:

> .libPaths()
[1] "D:/murdoch/recent/R64test/library"

This is clearly wrong, and it's no surprise R does not find its libraries at 
that path. I have no idea where this is coming from, but I am fairly certain 
it is something you configured locally, somehow. Most likely inside a 
.Rprofile or Rprofile.site file (See https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/Startup.html for background and details).

Please search your system for files with these names, and move them out of the 
way (or delete them, entirely, if they are not really needed). My guess is 
that you will find one at least in
  C:\Users\Peter's Gigabyte\

Another possibility is that you have overridden the library path using 
environment variables R_LIBS_USER or R_LIBS_SITE . 
  System Properties -> Advanced system properties -> Environment Variables -> 
User Variables

If all else fails, save the attached .Rprofile file to 
  C:\RKWard\KDE\bin\.Rprofile
then in a command shell
  cd c:\RKWard\KDE\bin
  rkward.exe

Does that - finally - do the trick?

Regards
Thomas
