When I try to install rJava I am requested to run 'R CMD javareconf -e' if I
don't have root access.

rune at rune-laptop:~$ R CMD javareconf -e

Can you tell us which shell you are using? It works fine for me with  
sh/bash.

FWIW in general the syntax is "-e <prog>" (see -h) e.g.
R CMD javareconf -e /bin/bash
You can also use '' for the default shell.

Cheers,
Simon

I'm using bash version 3.2.25(1) (ubuntu package version 3.2-0ubuntu11).
It works fine if I specify <prog>, but it doesn't work with just -e for 
the default shell.
