R help - Aug 2011 - instal tar.gz package on windows

Hi Duncan,

I have tried to install a tar.gz package following your instructions
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-August/169599.html) but without
success. Here are the steps I followed:

I installed the last version of Rtools and ran Rcmd INSTALL rJava_0.8-8.tar.gz
and got the error message attach in errorLog.txt. It seems that there is a
problem with JRI but I?m really stuck. Do you have any idea of what it could be?

 

Thanks!

rJava_0.8-8.tar.gz and got the error message attach in errorLog.txt. It seems
that there is a problem with JRI but I?m really stuck. Do you have any idea of
what it could be?

The important error message is:

make[1]: C:/PROGRA~1/Java/JRE16~1.0_1/bin/javac: Command not found
make[1]: *** [org/rosuda/JRI/Rengine.class] Error 127

So you don't have the Java compiler, or don't have it where that package
was looking for it.  But I don't know why you wouldn't just install the 
binary version; why do you want to compile it yourself?
