    Hi!
    I'm having this error at startup, just upgraded R today
    (R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31)
    Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) )
    and reinstalled rkward from synaptic (0.5.7z+0.5.8daily+3457+2011100251202~lucid1

    Error in library("rkward") :
    package ‘rkward’ does not have a NAMESPACE and should be re-installed
    Error in stopifnot(.rk.app.version == "0.5.7z+0.5.8+devel1") :
    object '.rk.app.version' not found
    Error: could not find function ".rk.fix.assignments"

    should I just wait for a newer version?
    Thanks
    Agus

    no, 0.5.7 should be fine. However it has to be compiled against R 2.14 in order to work with R 2.14.0. I believe the problem is that you are using our daily builds, and we do not currently offer those in a variant that is built against the CRAN version of R (I'll have to check, whether it would be possible to add this), but you have installed R 2.14 from CRAN. For the moment, your options are:

    - upgrade to a series of Ubuntu that already ships R 2.14.0 by default
    - compile RKWard from sources instead of using the daily builds. On Ubuntu it's not too hard: http://p.sf.net/rkward/svn
    - use our "official stable" PPA. We offer this in a variant for the CRAN version of R (https://launchpad.net/~rkward-devel/+archive/rkward-stable-cran).
