[R] Installing SJava

Quin Wills

2005-07-25


Apologies, I am a non-techie so am finding installing SJava (which I need
for RMAGEML) very frustrating indeed.



I am running rw2001 on WindowsXP with Java - jre1.5.0_02. Could somebody
please explain to me step-by-step how to install it as I have tried all the
help files. The website’s (HYPERLINK
"http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/"http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/)
instructions for installing the Windows source are definitely not Windows
commands (are they UNIX? The file is not even a zip as stated in the
instructions!).



I have also tried using the command “R CMD INSTALL HYPERLINK
"http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/SJava_0.68-0.tar.gz"SJava_0.68-0.tar.gz” in
R but just get a “syntax error”. I have tried changing the file to a zip and
then installing from the R GUI (“install packages from local zip”) but when
I type library(SJava) I get “Error in library(SJava) : 'SJava' is not a
valid package -- installed < 2.0.0?”.



Please could somebody explain any way to do this (step by step) to me like
I’m a two year old. I have no interest in actually calling Java, I just want
to be able to read MAGE-ML. I have saved the source file (HYPERLINK
"http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/SJava_0.68-0.tar.gz"SJava_0.68-0.tar.gz) in
my C drive (viz. c:\ HYPERLINK
"http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/SJava_0.68-0.tar.gz"SJava_0.68-0.tar.gz)…wh
at now?
