Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details: call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), …)

Question

I'm trying to install the package - Retip. Downloaded it from GitHub and tries to run it.

I'm receiveing this massage:

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'Retip':
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
  call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...)
  error: unable to load shared object 'D:/BCDD/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/rJava/libs/i386/rJava.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Error: loading failed
Execution halted

ERROR: loading failed for 'i386'
* removing 'D:/BCDD/Downloads/Retip-master/Retip.Rcheck/Retip'

1 error x | 0 warnings v | 0 notes v

Exited with status 1.

I do not know what to do. I tried to install\uninstall 'rJava' a few times. Also updated for the latest Java version.

Any hint/help will be appreciated

Answer 1

Here's my understanding of why INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch" works. I believe the newer versions of R try to install for both architectures. It's usually not a problem unless your package has system dependencies that only exist on your machine for one architecture.
