The version from John's gihub repo should work. https://github.com/johnlaing/blpwrapper
There is also a less reliable and less feature complete c++ version here which I've been working on here: https://github.com/armstrtw/Rblpapi I expect to cut this package over to an RCPP_MODULE fairly soon, which will hopefully make it a bit more robust. Anyway, use the java version for now (Rbbg), it's still more reliable at this point.
