R: rJava package install failing
Turns out my problem was an issue with my JAVA_HOME environment variable. Yes, shocking I know. My initial setting for PATH and JAVA_HOME looked like this:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
And I added /jre so it now looks like this:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Everything in Java seemed to work fine without the /jre but rJava would not. Odd.
Problem loading rJava
I finally solved the problem:
It seems that rJava searches for jvm.dll in ~\Java\jre6\bin\client.
However this folder didn´t exist on my system (jvm.dll was in ~\bin\server).
So I just made a copy of jvm.dll in a folder ~\bin\client\ and added this to the path.
Now everything works fine!
