I wish to load rJava in R x64 3.1.2. OS- Windows 8.1 64 bit
Though installation seems to work fine:
> install.packages("rJava")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/sony/Documents/R/win-library/3.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

package ‘rJava’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\sony\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpamYUH7\downloaded_packages
I get an error while loading the package:
library(rJava)
Error in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) :
lazy-load database 'C:/Users/sony/Documents/R/win-library/3.1/rJava/R/rJava.rdb' is corrupt
In addition: Warning message:
In get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) : internal error -3 in R_decompress1
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rJava’
I know that I am working on R-64 bit and at same time the environment variable Path is set to:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\server;
also, so the Java version is 64 bit too. I don't understand the reason behind the error.
On manually setting through R:
options(java.home="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_51\\bin")
library(rJava)
I get this error:
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...)
error: unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/sony/Documents/R/win-library/3.1/rJava/libs/x64/rJava.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found.
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rJava’
Any advice? The error seems to have cropped up after I uninstalled some old version of Java.
OTHERS: Also just to add, I do not set JAVA_HOME as a environment variable.
Uninstalling and Reinstalling R also doesn't seem to fix the problem.
Removing older java versions is too of no help.
Answer
Use:
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME='...path to JRE...')
e.g.
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME='C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_51\\jre')
Your environment variable is wrong.
