R help - Dec 2009 - install.packages error

Dear listeRs,

I am trying to install a package from the command line, using 
install.packages(). Specifying all the parameters, I simply get this error:
> r <- getOption("repos")
> install.packages("rJava", dependencies=T, repos=r,
lib="/home/adi/myRlib")
Error: subscript out of bounds
