Sat Oct 10 04:15:13 CEST 2009

*Hello,
I have had this serious problem while trying to install package rJava. It is
a requirement by the package JGR and it cannot be downloaded due to the
error indicated below.

I have googled and looked at the FAQ but no solution yet.

Please advise.
Kind regards,
Lazarus
