[R] RJDBC doesn't load Oracle driver?

[Andre Zege]

I am having trouble loading Oracle JDBC driver into RJDBC. 
Basically, i installed RJDBC and used it to connect to MySql. However, when
i try to load JDBC Oracle driver, it gives me an error message

> drv<-JDBC("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver", "/pathToDriver/ojdbc6.jar")
Error in .jfindClass(as.character(driverClass)[1]) 
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file


Few relevant facts
1. I use this JDBC driver elsewhere, in DBvizualiser, it connects fine
2. I run R and Java on 64 bit Red Hat Linux. 
3. I run same version of JRE in DBvizualiser that works with the driver as
the version that doesn't work
with RJDBC


What could it be? Would really appreciate someone familiar with RJDBC
commenting
