[R-SIG-Finance] Rbbg package's CONNECTION_FAILURE

[altaf]

Thanks, John.  I found the other blpapi3.jar file and made sure I specified
that but then I got the following CONNECTION_FAILURE:

> con.BBG <-
> blpConnect(blpapi.jar.file="C:\\blp\\API\\APIv3\\JavaAPI\\v3.5.1.1\\lib\\blpapi3.jar")
R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) 
rJava Version 0.9-3 
Rbbg Version 0.4-155 
Java environment initialized successfully.
Adding C:\blp\API\APIv3\JavaAPI\v3.5.1.1\lib\blpapi3.jar to Java classpath
Error in .jnew("org/findata/blpwrapper/Connection", java.log.level) : 
  org.findata.blpwrapper.WrapperException: Session not started because:
CONNECTION_FAILURE
