I am installing rJava on a 64bit machine, running Windows 7, and am encountering the weirdest message. Below is the log. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance.

install.packages("rJava")

  • I had a similar problem and it was due to rJava looking for x32 Java, where as my system was 64-bit. Go to [Java website and download a 64 bit version](http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp) and then try reinstalling. I didnt need to alther the PATH variables manually.
