error: unable to load installed packages just now

Question

When I tried to run the R console in Eclipse, I got this error:

....Please make sure that R package \'rj\' (1.1 or compatible) is installed...

Answer 1

This fixes the LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem for me (Linux, Debian 7.1.0, tc-shell, R version 3.0.2):

Add this line to .cshrc:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64/server

Adding this command to ~/.login was not enough; the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH was still not known in new xterms: echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH : LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Undefined variable. (Why??)

Curiously, when starting R as superuser, there was no problem with finding libjvm.so .
