R help - Jun 2007 - rJava installation under linux: configuration failed

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!

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.
