I am trying to get the R package "lsa" running, which in turn requires Snowball, which in turn fails. I'm running OpenSUSE 12.2 with the latest R-patched build (currently 3.01). Here's the thing: the libraries load no problem if I do "sudo R" but if I try to run R the good way, in emacs ESS mode, I don't have sudo and the attempt fails. Here's what I see:
library(lsa)
Loading required package: Snowball
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'Snowball', details:
call: NULL
error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
error: unable to load shared object '/usr/lib64/R/library/rJava/libs/rJava.so':
libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error: package ‘Snowball’ could not be loaded
This is at the conclusion of a long string of rJava issues.
Suggestions on how I can get this running without sudo (running sudo R just seems dumb, in addition to being a problem for ESS mode)
