I see. That appears to be the same at my end. You may want to bring that to the attention of the rosuda.org folks. | About "doing the same update-alternatives call for 'javah' and 'javac'." I | actually don't know what you mean exactly. Could you please clarify? Thanks. See what I left from your initial post -- besides running $ sudo update-alternatives --config java it may be prudent to also redirect via $ sudo update-alternatives --config javac $ sudo update-alternatives --config javah as 'R CMD javareconf' checkes for all three. But as you got JGR built, this may not matter. I always found that other java compilers from gij, gcj, ecj, ... would get in the way.
