Dear list members, I am starting to get acquainted with linux on a ubuntu 11.10 installation on an external hard disk. I have just installed R and all the packages available in the r-cran-* list. Now, I would like to get on with the installation of packages like Deducer and Acinonyx. The former requires JGR which in turn requires Java. I have tried to follow the instructions available at the following link on the R wiki : http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=getting-started:installation:debian
which in turn points at : http://rosuda.org/JGR/linux But these instructions do not seem to have worked. I get the following output : ravi@raviM1330:~$ java -version The program 'java' can be found in the following packages: * gcj-4.4-jre-headless * gcj-4.6-jre-headless * openjdk-6-jre-headless * gcj-4.5-jre-headless * openjdk-7-jre-headless Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package> ravi@raviM1330:~$ I would like to know how I should install java. Is it preferable to install the sun jdk version or the open jdk? By doing a search on R seek, I don't see any instructions on the currently valid procedure for installiing java. I would appreciate getting help on installation and sufficient configuration. Also, on first uninstalling whatever I have installed with the command : sudo apt-get install sun-java* Before this, I tried with : sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk But nothing seemed to happen after this (as far as I can remember). Thanks, Ravi ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
