The version from John's gihub repo should work.

https://github.com/johnlaing/blpwrapper

There is also a less reliable and less feature complete c++ version here
which I've been working on here:
https://github.com/armstrtw/Rblpapi

I expect to cut this package over to an RCPP_MODULE fairly soon, which will
hopefully make it a bit more robust.

Anyway, use the java version for now (Rbbg), it's still more reliable at
this point.

Cheers,
Whit
