  ==================
  
  Compilation / installation is basically just a
  # ./configure
  # make
  # make install
  
! you may need to pass the following options to configure:
! 
  
  --prefix=/path/to/kde
  
! you can determine your kde-directory by looking for some K-Application you know you have installed:
! 
! # which kedit
! 
! and strip the final /bin of the path (e.g. if which kedit returns /usr/bin/kedit , use /usr ).
! 
! for debian use --prefix=/usr
! 
  
! You might also have to specify your qt (3) directory, passing the commandline-option
  --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3			(or similar)
  to configure.
  
! 
! Likely you will need to specify the location of the R home directory:
! --with-r-home=/path/to/R/home			(default is /usr/local/lib/R)
! If you have the standalone version of R installed, you can determine this directory by running:
! # R RHOME
! for debian use --with-r-home=/usr/lib/R
! 
! You will need to have the R shared library installed. The makefiles assumes it to be in $R_HOME/lib/libR.so
! 
! Personally, I need the following options for configure (debian sid):
! --prefix=/usr --with-r-home=/usr/lib/R

  ==================
  
+ IMPORTANT: You will need to have the R shared library installed. This is typically located in a place like /usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so. Unfortunately, some distributions do not yet ship their R binary with the shared library. In those (rare) cases, you'll have to compile and install R on your own.
+ 
  Compilation / installation is basically just a
+ 
  # ./configure
  # make
  # make install
  
! and in 95% of the cases this should be all you need. Here are some ./configure options you may need to set in the other 5%:
  
  --prefix=/path/to/kde
  
! defaults to 1) $KDEDIR or if that is not set 2) the output of "kde-config --prefix". If you have multiple versions of KDE installed, or need to specify the kde-directory for any other reason, you need to set this option explicitely.
  
! One some systems you might also have to specify your qt (3) directory, passing the commandline-option
  --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3			(or similar)
  to configure.
  
! The options
! --with-r-home
! --with-r-includes
! --with-r-share
! --with-r-doc
! can be used to configure the details of your R installation. Usually these settings should be detected automatically, but if - for instance - R can not find its help files when run from RKWard, you may need to adjust --with-r-doc.

  ==================
  
! For now it's recommended to run RKWard from the command-line for debug-output. There are no useful commandline-options so far.
