There is not a lot to go by here. 

Thomas frequently builds on Debian and Ubuntu, in fact he is the maintainer.
Thanks to the backporters Vincent and Michal, a version is always included on
the CRAN repo for Ubuntu, eg at

     http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

where you should read the README.  Just running 'apt-get install rkward'
should install it; and by launching

     $ rkward

it surely start a working version. I have no problem using quotes either.
