Cannot load rJava because cannot load a shared library
- by Farrel
I have been struggling to load the rJava package in R.
I get the following messages
> library(rJava)
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
unable to load shared library \
'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-210~1.1/library/rJava/libs/rJava.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found.
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'rJava'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'rJava'
I have tried so many solutions that they are all bamboozeled in my head.
At some point I even got
> R Console: Rgui.exe - System Error The
> program can't start because
> MSVCR71.dll is is missing from your

I made sure everything I could think of was on the path
> C:\Program Files\R\Rtools\bin;C:\Program Files\R\Rtools\perl\bin;
C:\Program Files\R\Rtools\MinGW\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;
%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1\library\rJava\libs\;
C:\Program Files\R;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client
What should I try next?
I am running R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) and I have also tried R version 2.10.1 Patched (2010-03-03 r51210). It is on a Windows machine running windows 7 enterprise
