[R] Installation problems: Linux Java and R not working together

[Prof Brian Ripley]

First, read the posting guide.  This is a question about compiled code 
and belongs on R-devel.

Second, the answer will be in the config.log file for rJava which you 
have not shown us.  You need to download and unpack it, then run

R CMD INSTALL rJava

and look at rJava/config.log

If that is not sufficient clue, do follow up on R-devel.
