Duncan,
The current version of rkward is broken under R 2.8.0. The rkward
developers are aware of this and I believe they have a fix, but the fix
has not been applied to the code used to compile Ubunutu packages. We
provide the rkward package on an experimental basis, and this falls
under the experiment portion of the process.
I would recommend heading over to the rkward website/mailing lists and
inquiring about the status of the fix. You may also consider compiling
rkward from source yourself, using the emails in the rkward-devel as a
guide around the problem.
