In general, you should try to make sure to use a version of RKWard that was compiled specifically for the version of R in use. This is a bit of guesswork, but it sounds like the R version on the former system is a development/SVN snapshot. In this case, your only safe bet will be to compile RKWard from source, too. Fortunately, this is relatively easy on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get build-dep rkward xzf rkward-0.6.3.tar.gz # get it from http://rkward.kde.org/download cd rkward-0.6.3 mkdir build; cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DR_EXECUTABLE=/your/path/to/R make sudo make install BTW, my very first guess would be that this version of R was compiled without the --enable-R-shlib configure option. In this case, you will have to recompile it with the option enabled. A different, and very comfortable way to use RKWard with a fresh version of R is installing R from Michael Rutter's archive: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter and a matching version of RKWard from one of our "CRAN version of R" PPAs: https://launchpad.net/~rkward-devel Probably this is what you have on the 32bit box(?). If I guessed all wrong, a sessionInfo() of the R version on the crashing machine might be helpful. > Any help would be appreciated. It's a nice software. Compares > favorably to Rstudio. Thanks for the praise. Hope this helps some. For follow-up questions, please post to rkward-devel@kde.org (we have moved). Regards Thomas
