Hi netter,
Recently I was trying to install rJava. The operating system is suse 10.0,
and the R versionis 2.5.0.
Following the instructions of R Wiki for rJava, I did configuration first:
R CMD javareconf
and then it showed a series of information, from what it seems that java is
in the system and the configuration succeeded.
Then I tried to install rJava:
install.packages("rJava")
following which rJava was downloaded and being installed, but during the
last test step it said: can't complie a simple JNL program. Configuration
Failed!
Did I do something wrong? Or there's something I should do that I didn't?
Thanks a lot!
Sincerely Yours: Zhihua Li
rJava installation under linux: configuration failed

Which java have you installed? ( java -version ) You need a Sun Java and better is a 1.5 series Java, JGR seems to have some problem with the new 1.6 series. And you need the JDK, not the JRE. You can google how to do those installations on suse linux.

Precautionary note: the '1.5 series Java' (aka Java 5) does not work with JNI (and hence rJava) on some platforms, including AMD64 Linux.
You can google how to do those installations on suse linux.
It can be tricky, especially if you need a later Java than your OS version supports.

Since the Suse Version is 10.0 there is an installation repository provided by Suse: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java/ you can add that via Yast and this should then provide Java 5 JDK. (provided that you are on the correct platform ...)
