Hi Thomas

[quote]Interesting. I suppose that directory does exist, and you have permission
to enter it?[/quote]
Lol. My mistake.

[quote]So you still need to compile rkward 0.5.4, again.[/quote]
After uninstalling rkward-0.5.3, removing the cached file and compiling 0.5.4
[code][mhudson at penguin build]$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
-DR_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/R
[/code]
and make install it all just works.
Everything seemed to work.

Maybe the simpler option now is to install a new rkward rpm on Mandriva Cooker,
see

See Ahmad's earlier response too as to a surer way to install using src rpms
Its as simple as grabbing the corresponding src.rpm and
[code]rpmbuild --rebuild /path/to/*.src.rpm [/code]

Just to advise that all ended well.

Thanks again,

Malcolm
