Here is some quick advice on how to get up and running with R + rJava on Windows 7 64bit. There are several possibilities, but most have fatal flaws. Here is what worked for me:
Add jvm.dll to your PATH
rJava, the R<->Java bridge, will need jvm.dll, but R will have trouble finding that DLL. It resides in a folder like
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin\server
or
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\jre\bin\client
Wherever yours is, add that directory to your windows PATH variable. (Windows -> "Path" -> "Edit environment variables to for your account" -> PATH -> edit the value.)
You may already have Java on your PATH. If so you should find the client/server directory in the same Java "home" dir as the one already on your PATH.
To be safe, make sure your architectures match.If you have Java in Program Files
, it is 64-bit, so you ought to run R64. If you have Java in Program Files (x86)
, that's 32-bit, so you use plain 32-bit R.
Re-launch R from the Windows Menu
If R is running, quit.
From the Start Menu , Start R / RGUI, RStudio. This is very important, to make R pick up your PATH changes.
Install rJava 0.9.2.
Earlier versions do not work! Mirrors are not up-to-date, so go to the source at www.rforge.net: . Note the advice there
“Pleaseuse`install.packages('rJava',,'http://www.rforge.net/')`to install.”
That is almost correct. This actually works:
install.packages('rJava', .libPaths()[1], 'http://www.rforge.net/')
Watch the punctuation! The mysterious “.libPaths()[1],” just tells R to install the package in the primary library directory. For some reason, leaving the value blank doesn’t work, even though it should default.
