Error starting Rkward 0.6.1 with R 3.0.1 on openSUSE 12.3

[Vojtěch Zeisek]

Hello, I installed R 3.0.1 from openSUSE repository https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel%3Alanguages%3AR%3Abase&package=R and Rkward 0.6.1 from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=devel%3Alanguages%3AR%3Asupplement&package=rkward on openSUSE 12.3 (64b) with KDE 4.10.2. Rkward says there were error during launching R core. Some errors Rkward is not able to handle yet.

Very sorry for the late reply. Looks like I did not get a notification of your post.

For use with R >= 3.0.0 you need a version of RKWard compiled against R >= 3.0.0. I am not sure whether suitable binaries exist for openSuse. However, compilation from source is relatively straight-forward on Linux systems: http://p.sf.net/rkward/compiling
