[R-SIG-Mac] Issues with rJava on OS X El Capitan

Check DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH - it must include your Java:

> Sys.getenv("DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH")
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server"

if it doesn't, your R is not correctly configured. Oracle's Java requires the above setting, it doesn't work without it (unlike the system Java). The above is set by the R script based on etc/ldpaths - so make sure that one is correct (it should be by javareconf if your system is setup correctly).

Cheers,
Simon

So I suspect a problem with the CRAN binary package of rJava, which seems to be hard-coded to use /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework and not Oracle Java.
