Great, thanks - I think I'll push the new version out pretty soon.

Yes, sure, but there used to be issues with the Homebrew toolchain that caused 
a lot of trouble that didn't exist in the official R so all I'm saying is that 
your mileage may vary. I think the situation is improving as more people 
familiar with R are entering the HB community, but it used to be pretty bad 
hence my disclaimer :).

Thanks,
Simon

Hey Simon! 

Thanks a lot for the really quick update. I installed the package from source 
and now works perfectly, builds and can be use in R with other packages, like 
xlsx. 

I configured java without invoking root privileges. 

I know that the Homebrew users are more or less in our own, but I think there 
is nothing wrong in ask since probably the problem isn’t cause by the Homebrew 
install. Finally, Homebrew is just a way to install R from source. 

Anyhow, thanks a lot for your help!

Luis,

first, you seem to be using Homebrew R so you're pretty much on your own (=ask 
the Homebrew maintainer) since we don't support that. (In official R you do NOT 
want to use sudo as Jeff pointed out)

That said, you can try the latest rJava 0.9-10 version (see 
http://rforge.net/rJava ) which is trying to work around the issue of Java 10 
lacking javah and provide feedback.
There are more macOS changes in the making to work around other Oracle issues 
so once the full batch is through I'd expect a CRAN release.

Cheers,
Simon

Hi Jeff, 

Sorry if I’ve done something wrong posting to more that one list. Perhaps I 
should have written just different emails for each list so people from one list 
don’t reply to the other lists. Apologies for that. 

On another note, thanks for your reply. Let’s hope that we soon can have only 
one version of Java.

Is the correct answer.  How to work around this is in the current 
manual, specifically R-admin for R 3.5.0 alpha or R-devel.


Java 10 has been out for 8 days, and the rJava maintainer was made aware 
of the issues early this month, several other package maintainers only 
today.  The advice is to stick to an LTS release of Java (currently 8) 
unless you know what you are doing.


And don't post to multiple lists!
