R-SIG-Debian Digest, Vol 67, Issue 7

Seems that the solution to my problem, which I found searching through
more web pages, was to do the following:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Why R couldn't be set up to compile JGR, which is an important tool to
make R reasonably approachable, with system defaults is unclear to me.
 Certainly these kinds of problems will discourage anyone who is not
sophisticated with software.
