[R] rJava installation under linux: configuration failed

[zhihua li]

Hi netter,

Recently I was trying to install rJava.  The operating system is suse 10.0, 
and the R versionis 2.5.0.

Following the instructions of R Wiki for rJava, I did configuration first: 
R CMD javareconf

and then it showed a series of information, from what it seems that java is 
in the system and the configuration succeeded.

Then I tried to install rJava:
install.packages("rJava")

following which rJava was downloaded and being installed, but during the 
last test step it said: can't complie a simple JNL program. Configuration 
Failed!

Did I do something wrong? Or there's something I should do that I didn't?

Thanks a lot!
