R help - Oct 2012 - rJava install - "%1 is not a valid Win32 application."

All –



I’m having a problem with the rJava package.  I can download it to my
machine (Win 7 64-bit) but when I try to load the package into R (2.15.1,
64-bit version), I get the following error:

> require(rJava)
Loading required package: rJava

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:

  call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...)

  error: unable to load shared object
'C:/Users/sranney/Documents/R/win-library/2.15/rJava/libs/x64/rJava.dll':

  LoadLibrary failure:  %1 is not a valid Win32 application.


I have verified that the file R is looking for is in the appropriate place,
but I continue to get the error.  I have tried to download rJava from
another source, but still get the error.


I have not been able to find another user with this same issue.


Thanks for your help –

My guess would be that your running the 32 bit version of R - and
rJava is looking for the 64 bit dll. I'd suggest starting the 64 bit
version of R explicitly (e.g. the 64 bit version of Rgui lives at
<R_HOME>/bin/x64/Rgui.exe, whereas the 32 bit version lives at
<R_HOME>/bin/i386/Rgui.exe).
