[R] rjava does not install

enough to do this and not, probably thinks I need to use html LOL ]

The point seems to be that you need jni.h which apparently is only in the jdk, not the jre.
If you install "java" it isn't clear what this thing finds.
if you do something like "which -a java" and "which -a javac" you may see some issues.

Sorry for this delay. I have installed rjava on Fedora, CentOS and Debians.

The secret is to install java and configure de java variables. The easiest
way for R is:
R CMD javareconf

It will detect your java envoriment and preconfigure R for you.

Then  run: R CMD INSTALL rJava etc as you did.
