[rkward-users] [rkward-devel] RKWard 0.5.1-pre2: First preview of RKWard on Windows

[Xavier de Pedro]

Hi all:

I'm a RKWard user on GNU/Linux (thanks for this nice GUI for R! :-), but 
I'm interested in promoting it under windows in our university 
(computers for students have Windows). So I tried with the 
install_rkward_0.5.1-pre2d.exe package, follwing the instructions on the 
Wiki and this list.

RKWard doesn't run becuase it complains that it can't find the  
libtexteditor.dll
FYI

I'm willing to test any further trial to make it work under windows...
And thanks for the porting effort!
Cheers

Xavi
