Re: [R] age old problem with rJava

[Jeff Newmiller]

The very act of using sudo for this kind of activity creates files that you can 
only access by using sudo (bad permissions), thereby perpetuating your 
difficulties. You should be able to limit yourself to only using sudo for 
installing OS packages (apt-get) which is designed to yield appropriate file 
permissions for normal use. 

Resolving such gordian knots in the operating system is off topic here, but I 
would recommend uninstalling R and your ~/R directory and the java runtime and 
then using the Ubuntu-specific instructions for setting up R that are posted on 
CRAN and avoid running R with sudo. Only use sudo with apt-get and use a local 
user-specific R library (~/R) so you don't have to use sudo to install R 
packages. If you need a system-wide installation then you need to get help in a 
more OS-specific forum... perhaps R-sig-debian.

[R] age old problem with rJava

[Jim Maas]

I've installed oracle java 8, at least think I have and tried many things
but still getting this error.  For some reason if I run R as sudo, then the
library rJava loads just fine, but not as user.  Any suggestions most
welcome.

Ubuntu 16.04 linux, R 3.3.1 64-bit

Thanks
