I have a clean install of RStudio Server (Pro) on clean Ubuntu 14.04. Install was smooth only problem I have is with rJava. Everything else appears to be working fine.
To install the rJava package I installed the package from the R (running as sudo) from the console. This is what I have always done when setting up RStudio Servers. Once installed rJava works fine from the R console as sudo or normal user.
From the RStudio IDE I can load the rJava package, but when I call .jinit() I get errors:
library(rJava)
.jinit()
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error in .jinit() : Cannot create Java virtual machine (-4)
This is contrary to what happens if I ssh onto the server directly as same user and run the same commands from R console - this does not generata any error.
Any idea what is going on here? I have searched around and not found anything that helps. I tried completely uninstalling openjdk, tried reinstalling the package. Nothing seems to work - and because I get different behavior between the R console on the terminal and the R console in RStudio Server I am slightly puzzled.
The version of R on the console is:
$platform
[1] "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
$arch
[1] "x86_64"
$os
[1] "linux-gnu"
$system
[1] "x86_64, linux-gnu"
$status
[1] ""
$major
[1] "3"
$minor
[1] "1.2"
$year
[1] "2014"
$month
[1] "10"
$day
[1] "31"
$`svn rev`
[1] "66913"
$language
[1] "R"
$version.string
[1] "R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31)"
$nickname
[1] "Pumpkin Helmet"
This is the same as the version that R Studio Server is using.
JAVA_HOME is the same from R console on terminal and R console in RStudio Server
> Sys.getenv('JAVA_HOME')
[1] "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/jre"
This is the same as the JAVA_HOME I get from the shell.
I have the following java version:
java -version
java version "1.7.0_75"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.4) (7u75-2.5.4-1~trusty1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)
Would love some suggestions or input from folks who have struggled with this same problem.
Cheers, Matt
