OK, so I did: sudo R CMD javareconf followed by the following in R as root: install.packages("JGR",dep = TRUE)
which I think went OK because if I do: library() then JGR is listed. From the terminal: "Packages in library '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library': JavaGD Java Graphics Device JGR JGR - Java Gui for R rJava Low-level R to Java interface" BUT, if I then run: JGR() then I get: Error: could not find function "JGR" I am confused...?!?
