[R-SIG-Mac] configuration failed for package ‘rJava’

[bugreport19621012 at fastmail.fm]

I am on a Mac Lion.  sessionInfo() is below my signature.

I attempted to install GGally and its dependencies. This led to the following error:

ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rJava’

and the following piece of advice:

Make sure you have Java Development Kit installed and correctly registered in R.
If in doubt, re-run "R CMD javareconf" as root.

So I ran "R CMD javareconf" as root. This seemed to work fine:

BEGIN QUOTE

/Volumes/spin/SoftwareDownload/R> R CMD javareconf
Java interpreter : /usr/bin/java
Java version     : 1.6.0_31

Java compiler    : /usr/bin/javac
Java headers gen.: /usr/bin/javah
Java archive tool: /usr/bin/jar
Java library path: 
JNI linker flags : -framework JavaVM
JNI cpp flags    : -I$(JAVA_HOME)/include

Updating Java configuration in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources
Done.

END QUOTE

I closed and reopened R and again attempted

install.packages("rJava", type="source")

since the binary is not available for Mac. But this returned the same error as before.

What am I doing wrong?
