R help - Oct 2006 - Anyone managed to run JGR on amd64 Linux? SegFault

Hi,

is there anyone who successfully used JGR (Java GUI for R) on Linux 
machines, more specific on 64bit AMD? Tried to get JGR running but after 
installing it as recommended (all installs ok), got a segfault with a 
very nice "implement me" message:

osklyar at compaq[~]: R
 > install.packages("JGR",dep=TRUE)
 > library(JGR)
Loading required package: rJava
Loading required package: JavaGD
Loading required package: iplots
LOG: [(nil)] JNI_GetCreatedJavaVMs: IMPLEMENT ME!!!
Segmentation fault
compaq #

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi, my post about failing JGR on amd64 solved and here is how I got it 
running, hopefully it helps others.

Suppose your JDK (and you need JDK, not only JRE) is in 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun (thus JRE in 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre). Set JAVA_HOME to point there to JDK. 
Run R CMD javareconf (thanks Prof. Ripley). RE-install rJava, install 
JGR. Start JGR - worked for me with sun-java binary deb of Ubuntu Edgy 
and R2.4.0alpha from source.

Best,
Oleg
