maxent RJava situation 1001


Ive been struggling with overcomming a series of errors for using the function maxent in the dismo package.

Loading required package: rJava Unable to find any JVMs matching version "(null)". No Java runtime present, try --request to install. Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rJava’: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details: call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) error: unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/rJava/libs/rJava.so': dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/rJava/libs/rJava.so, 6): Library not loaded: @rpath/libjvm.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/rJava/libs/rJava.so Reason: image not found Error: package ‘rJava’ could not be loaded In addition: Warning message: running command '/usr/libexec/java_home' had status 1

Ive tried: 1- updating my R version 2- removing and reinstalling the latest Java version 3- removing and reinstalling rJava 4- Installing JGR

None have solved the issue. Any help out there?


Solution

  • At the Terminal console execute:

    machine-name:~ username$ which java
    /usr/bin/java
    machine-:~ username$ java -version
    java version "1.8.0_131"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)
    

    Since I have the jre installed I can go into R and run:

    > library(rJava)
    > help(pac=rJava)
    > res <- .jinit(classpath="myClasses.jar", parameters="-Xmx512m")
    > res
    [1] 0    # the sign of a successful initiation
    

    You should be displaying similar information as below:

    > sessionInfo()
    R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21)
    Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)

    locale:

    attached base packages:
    [1] parallel  stats4    grDevices utils     datasets  graphics  stats    
    [8] methods   base     
    
    other attached packages:
     [1] rJava_0.9-8         MASS_7.3-47         copula_0.999-16   
      snipped the rest of my loaded package listing
    

    I never had any success working with JGR so cannot help on that aspect.
