[R-SIG-Mac] New problem with R and java affects loading xlsx

[MacQueen, Don]

I wonder if anyone here has a moment to send me any clues regarding the
following. I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!


Over the weekend my institution ran some updates, and now, today, I'm
having Java-related problems.

I've run
 R CMD javareconf
apparently successfully, and reinstalled
 rJava
 xlsx
 xlsxjars
also apparently successfully.

But now:
> library(xlsx)
JavaVM: requested Java version ((null)) not available. Using Java at ""
instead.
JavaVM: Failed to load JVM: /bundle/Libraries/libserver.dylib
JavaVM FATAL: Failed to load the jvm library.
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'xlsx', details:
  call: .jinit()
  error: JNI_GetCreatedJavaVMs returned -1

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'xlsx'

I will be enquiring of our IT people.

I acknowledge my R is not current, and I will update it if other efforts
fail -- but this was working as of a week ago, so I'm not inclined to make
that my first step.

JDK and JRE 1.7 are marked by our institutional software management tool
as installed on the machine.
