I use Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10, KDE 4.2.1. I open Rkward, and select any item from the menu. A dialogue appears saying: 

The support file "/home/john/rkward/phpfiles/common.php" could not be found or is not readable. Please check your installation

konsole says:

This crash is reproducable. Maybe some package error?

Yes, this is a Ubuntu packaging issue. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rkward/+bug/294610 for the corresponding bug report in ubuntu. I'm closing it in this tracker, as it is not an issue in RKWard itself. Still, thanks for reporting.

Fixed Ubuntu packages should become available soon. Meanwhile compiling from source should work. There is also a .diff.gz for Debian/Ubuntu package building available from the downloads page. In version 0.5.0c this has been tested to work with Ubuntu 8.10.

Workaround \(I think\) is don't use the menu to start it. Open a terminal window, cd /usr/share/apps, then type the command rkward.
