Cannot compile a simple JNI program on Debian Wheezhy
debian, r
Solution
I had a similar problem while installing xlsx package that has some dependencies maybe related to java and r java packages...
In order to solve your problem you have to: - check environment variables $JAVA_HOME and $PATH - sudo R CMD javareconf
If it doesn't help, try out my configuration with java-7-oracle,
- install java-7-oracle via webupd8 repository Installing Java 7 (Oracle) in Debian via apt-get
- set environment variables $JAVA_HOME and $PATH
- export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle
- export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
- sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-7-oracle
- sudo R CMD javareconf
and than retry the installation of rjava
I hope it will help you!
Problem
I have installed R on a Debian Wheezhy. I want to install rjava package, but I get this error: ``` configure: error: Cannot compile a simple JNI program. See config.log for details. Make sure you have Java Development Kit installed and correctly registered in R. If in doubt, re-run "R CMD javareconf" as root. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rJava’ * removing ‘/home/babak/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/rJava’ ``` There is Java on my Linux, If I type `Java -Version` I see: ``` java version "1.6.0_27" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.12.6) (6b24-1.11.5-1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode) ``` How can I solve this problem?
