R Error in .jfindClass(as.character(driverClass)[1]) : class not found

Question

trying to install stringi package in R but getting weird error message, below.

Loading required package: DBI
Loading required package: rJava
Error in .jfindClass(as.character(driverClass)[1]) : class not found
Calls: JDBC -> is.jnull -> .jfindClass
Execution halted
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘stringi’ had non-zero exit status

Looked in other postings but they are all related to DB drivers. No clue what may be causing this in my case, any help appreciated. Many thanks.

Specs: Mac OSX, R Studio, R version is 3.2.0.

UPDATE:

Apparently this issue happens to the installation of other packages too. Below is the output when trying to install DierckxSpline.

> install.packages("DierckxSpline", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

I have no clue so far, and nothing helpful when I Google it. It seems to be a Mac X issue with RStudio. Hope someone can help, thanks.

Oh, yes, it's Mac OSX. I'm using R Studio, and the R version is 3.2.0. — valuenaut, Jun 29 '15 at 06:44
Is this the whole output from running `install.packages("stringi")`? Because I can't see why stringi would want to install DBI and rJava - they're not explicit dependencies and stringi's dependencies seem quite light and shouldn't be pulling in DBI and rJava. — Spacedman, Jun 29 '15 at 06:56

Finally got the answer and solved it, here: rJava 'class not found' error with makeCluster. The issue was in my .Rprofile which had the line library(RJDBC) and the line drv <- JDBC("com.sas.net.sharenet.ShareNetDriver", "/usr/local/sas/jdbc_driver/sas.intrnet.javatools.jar", identifier.quote=""). I had no idea this was there. I just removed it and the problem is now solved.

This may tell you [where to find the .Rprofile file](https://stackoverflow.com/a/13736073/1577947). – Jarad Mar 10 '18 at 18:12
