Hi Thomas,

thanks for your comments, indeed I tried a few cmake commands before 
compilation succeded. Here are the results of the prompts you suggested:

[mhudson at penguin ~]$ which rkward
/usr/bin/rkward
[mhudson at penguin ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/rkward
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1273 2010-12-15 14:23 /usr/bin/rkward*
[mhudson at penguin ~]$ find /usr -name "rkward"
/usr/bin/rkward
/usr/share/apps/rkward
/usr/share/doc/rkward
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/rkward
find: `/usr/lost+found': Permission denied
/usr/lib64/R/library/rkward
/usr/lib64/R/library/rkward/R/rkward
[mhudson at penguin ~]$ kde4-config --prefix
/usr
(I would have expected /usr/local, ML reserves /usr for its own packages,
as I read [url]http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Installing_and_remov
ing_software/Installing_from_source[/url].
So it appears the previous rkward apps will be overwritten
ML has the rkward 0.5.3 libraries under /usr/lib64/R/library/rkward/).

The make install is installing apps to /usr/share/apps/rkward/.

[mhudson at penguin ~]$ cat /usr/bin/rkward
#!/bin/sh
# Shell wrapper for rkward executable.

export R_binary="/usr/local/bin/R"
[snip]
(this looks correct, pointing to my R 2.12.0)


Maybe the way forward is for me to urpme rkward to remove 0.5.3 as far
as possible,
then redo the cmake configuration with option
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local 

Any thoughts?
I'll try this tomorrow night.(Aus), its getting late...

best wishes, and thanks for a great environment.
