Thanks for the response.  As most of the other threads also recommend this,
and I have already upgraded to the latest versions of the Bloomberg API as
well as Java (currently using 1.7).  However, I am still having an issue.

I think I have narrowed down the issue to rJava -- when I try to initialize
the JVM directly (by calling .jinit() or .jpackage()), then the R gui will
hang.  Also, if I run R from the command line, I get the following error:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: Can't find dependent libraries

Note that I get this error when I call .jinit() directly or when I call
"blpConnect".  For example:

> require(RBloomberg)
Loading required package: RBloomberg
> conn <- blpConnect()
R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
rJava Version 0.9-3
RBloomberg Version 0.4-150
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: Can't find dependent libraries

I have been unable to find other related threads pertaining to this
particular problem.  Also, I have tried the following:
  * Verified that JAVA_HOME env variable is correctly set
  * Tried adding JAVA_HOME/bin to my PATH
  * Tried both 32 and 64 bit versions of R and Java.

Any help further regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
