Thanks for your reply.

Since you write (in 1) that this also happens in a plain R session, this
is not a bug in RKWard, however, and so I'm closing this report again.

The core of the issue is this: "undefined symbol: translateCharUTF8". This
symbol was added in R 2.7.0, while you are using R 2.6.2. This means the
version of Hmisc you have installed simply does not work with your version
of R.

At this point you have the following options:
1: Upgrade R to at least R 2.7.0 (caveat: you may have to upgrade RKWard
as well, after that).
2: Try to install an older version of Hmisc from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Hmisc/ . RKWard has no
support for this, but the following should do the trick on the command
line:
> sudo R CMD INSTALL Hmisc_VERSION.tar.gz
I'd try ~ version 3.4-3, first, since that was before R 2.7.0 was
released.
3: Contact the people mentioned, here:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Hmisc/index.html and talk them into
providing a version of Hmisc that supports old versions of R. (Do NOT
contact the main R developers on this. They are not responsible for this
package, and strongly dislike being contacted about problems in third-party
packages).
