    I installed Rkward (0.4.9a-3.5) on OpenSuse 11.0 from a rpm provided by the http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dsteuer/ repository.

    When I start rkward a window pops up that askes for Information

    "R backend needs Information"
    "Selection:"

    what do I need to type in to continue?

    thanks

      Most likely you are using RKWard with R 2.9.0, and unfortunately that does not work at all with RKWard 0.4.9a. So you basically have the choice between downgrading R (to R 2.7.0, if you want everything to work, properly), or installing RKWard 0.4.9b (or 0.5.0d, if KDE 4 is an option).

      I don't know, if and when Detlef Steuer (or somebody else) will be providing updated packages for OpenSuse. We have reworked our instructions on compiling/installing RKWard form source, and probably your best bet is to give that a try. The hardest part really is to find/install the packages that are needed to make building work, the steps after that should be no problem:
