Latest R and RKWard

Yesterday I got the latest version of R (version 2.14.0 (Great Pumpkin, 2011-10-31)). Later in the day when I opened my favourite R GUI RKWard, it said that it cannot start the R backend.

On reaching the RKWard's sourceforge page, it is seen that my version of RKWard (ver 0.5.4) cannot support R-2.14.0 and I have to add an Inofficial Ubuntu repository to my system's software sources.

As I have been using the CRAN version of R on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx), added the following two lines to the system's software sources.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rkward-devel/rkward-stable-cran/ubuntu lucid main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/rkward-devel/rkward-stable-cran/ubuntu lucid main

If you have R from default Ubuntu servers, you may need to add the following line to your system's software sources for the latest RKWard.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rkward-devel/rkward-stable/ubuntu lucid main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/rkward-devel/rkward-stable/ubuntu lucid main

Then I updated the Ubuntu package list and upgraded the rkward package. Now my RKWard is at version 0.5.7 and working perfectly.

More details of latest RKWard binaries can be found here.

UPDATE: To rJava/JGR users
You would need to reinstall  JavaGD, iplots, JGR, proto, Deducer packages
Inside R, do the following

install.packages("JavaGD")
install.packages("iplots")
install.packages("JGR")
install.packages("proto")
install.packages("Deducer")

In between if you encounter the following error

configure: error: Cannot compile a simple JNI program. See config.log for details.

you need to reconfigure the Java installation. In the linux terminal issue the following

sudo R CMD javareconf
