Apparently further explanation is in order, to correct some misimpressions.
I was not aware that I was intruding on a private space. I was directed to the quoted URL for Sjava by the omegahat website, www.omegahat.org/RSJava, which states "Currently, it is advisable to get the binary from Brian Ripley's Web site" where the link is provided. After a "refresh", I see that the page still says that. I had indeed read three "readme"s in the SJava distribution, as well as two different FAQs (one on the web and one in the distribution, and some of the documentation for usage. I did not read the "readme" in "examples", putting that off, I think reasonably. I have not found the "readme" which you mention. The page www.omegathat.org/RSJava/FAQ.html states "you will need version 1.2.0". My message mentioned R.dll because the FAQ discusses a problem if the installed version of R was not compiled as a shareable library. When I found R.dll I concluded that that problem is probably not applicable here. It's not true that I concluded that R.dll was the "module" referred to. If 1.6.2 is needed, as you suggest, I do not know yet if I will need to compile it with the flag "--enable-R-shlib" mentioned in the FAQ in reference to R.dll. If anyone already has a 1.6.2 build in binary, I would appreciate it. I do appreciate your help, Professor, and will pursue your suggestion vis a vis 1.6.2. Moderation of the pejoratives would be nice. -----Original Message----- From: Prof Brian Ripley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 9:04 AM To: Day, Roger Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [R] loading Sjava On Fri, 10 Sep 2004, Day, Roger wrote: > I'm excited about SJava, and I'ld love to get it working, but can't > get past loading the package. > > .First.lib fails on this statement: > > > library.dynam("SJava", "SJava", "C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1091/library") > Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : > unable to load shared library > "C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1091/library/SJava/libs/SJava.dll": > LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found. > > > Actually, SJava.dll is present there. But who said `SJava.dll' was the `specified module'? Hint: it is most likely not, but also you are trying to load a DLL built under R 1.6.2 into R 1.9.1 and that is likely to result in such a message. > Advice????

That one says SJava_0.65a.tar.gz modified sources SJava.zip build under R1.6.2 The sources here will build under R 1.6.x and R-devel (1.7.0-to-be). To install: Sjava.zip -- unzip in ...\rw1062\library. and note, not rw1091. That was a private area, and I have deleted it. There is a version of SJava in the public area http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin, but do practice assiduously your new-found skills at reading ReadMe files. -- Brian D.
