Hi there I am setting up a FreeBSD server for my research department at university, and one of my teachers needs specifically R modules like tm, RWeka, rJava and the like.
I have installed FreeBSD 8.0/i386 and applied the relevant security patches as well as the native FreeBSD JDK 1.6 with its latest patchset. I have installed R 2.11 and enabled Java support on it. Now, when trying to install rJava both from inside R via install.packages(rJava) or R CMD INSTALL myrJava.tar.gz I get the same error lines: ============================================================================================================== gcc44 -std=gnu99 -shared -L/usr/local/lib -o rJava.so Rglue.o arrayc.o callJNI.o callback.o fields.o init.o jri_glue.o loader.o otables.o rJava.o tools.o -L/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386/server -L/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386 -L/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/../lib/i386 -L -L/usr/java/packages/lib/i386 -L/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -ljvm -pthread -L/usr/local/lib/R/lib -lR (cd ../jri && make) make -C src JRI.jar /usr/local/bin/javac -target 1.4 -source 1.4 -d . javac: no source files Usage: javac <options> <source files> use -help for a list of possible options *** Error code 2 Stop in /tmp/Rtmp00B32A/R.INSTALL10d63af1/rJava/jri/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /tmp/Rtmp00B32A/R.INSTALL10d63af1/rJava/jri. *** Error code 1 Stop in /tmp/Rtmp00B32A/R.INSTALL10d63af1/rJava/src. ERROR: compilation failed for package 'rJava' ============================================================================================================== I have taken a look at the Makefiles trying to determine if I needed jdk1.4 or higher, as the output suggest 1.4 is been used, but it seems that 1.4 references are there only for compatibility reasons. Also, I could find no logs that bring more info. Did anybody stumble upon this issue? I have tried to Google around in the lists and found nothing. Note that the error is the same when I try to install rJava 0.8.4 from inside R or rJava 0.8.5 manually so it makes me think it is not a rJava release issue but a FreeBSD-rJava issue. I understood there might be many FreeBSD users in this list, so I decided to come to the most specific mailing list. Thank you very much in advance and have a nice day, Iñigo Ortiz de Urbina PS: Please CC me, as I am not subscribed to the list :) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
