[Rd] cannot load rJava in R

[Lothar Rubusch]

Hi all!

 I recently tried to install the rJava package on my notebook (Debian Etch / Kernel 2.6.15 / jdk 1.5.0-5 / R 2.2.1 / rJava ?? the repo one, have a look below). I compiled R myself with "--with-readline=no" and "--enable-R-shlib flags". Now, each time loading the library rJava I encouter the same error. I reinstalled several times (as root), always the same problem:
JNI_GetCreatedJavaVMs is undefined, isn't it?! I couldn't find anything to that problem so far..

What went wrong?
Do I have the recent repository for rJava?
How can I fix this?

Many thanks in advance!!
 Lothar
