The easiest way to get rJava on Ubuntu is to install it from the repositories instead of trying to install it directly from CRAN. From the command line this should do the trick
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava
Ryan
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava
didn't work in R Studio, so I had to use the terminal but then worked perfectly for me.
