I am trying to install rJava on a WUBI Ubuntu 11.10 installation of R with no luck. I was originally trying to install the iplots package and encountered this rJava problem.
Code used: install.packages("rJava") (CRAN mirrors --Canada(ON) and Canada(QC2) I installed iplots with no problem on Windows 7. I know just about zero about Ubuntu or Linux in general so I have no idea what I am doing. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I am getting the error/warning messages below. ================================================= 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.
