I'll have to guess now, because I don't know much about Macs or Java. I assume there is something wrong with your java installation. You can check by writing the following in a terminal: java -version If the output of this isn't something sensible, then you probably need to (re-)install Java. Otherwise there is some information here (Point 3. "Configure Java for R"): https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSPT3X_3.0.0/com.ibm.swg.im.infosphere.biginsights.install.doc/doc/install_install_r.html If that doesn't help (and probably even if it does) you should consider joining the RDS Users Group, if you haven't already: http://wiki.stat.ucla.edu/hpmrg/index.php/RDS_Analyst_Users_Group Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email loris.benn...@fu-berlin.de ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
