rj package compilation failure - macos

Question

Thanks a lot for taking a look. There's a previous post on here with the same error message "cannot compile a simple JNI program" and the solution was to update to R 1.15. But I've already had everything in the newest version. Although it says "see config.log for details", it doesn't give a location, and "find / -name config.log" at the terminal returns nothing.
It's be an exhausting and frustrating process trying to get this to work. Any help will be much appreciated.
R version 2.15.1, 64-bit (I used Homebrew install, but it shouldn't be the problem)
Eclipse 4.2 Cocoa, 64-bit (tried 3.7 as well, didn't work either)
OSX 10.7.5
Here's the error message:

I faced the same issue and below Solution worked for me. Please follow the steps
1.) You need to run this command on the terminal - R CMD javareconf
2.) After that check the compatibility of StatET with rJ package which is in below order.
For RJ 2.0 (StatET 3.4 - 3.5):
install.packages(c("rj", "rj.gd"), repos="http://download.walware.de/rj-2.0")
For RJ 1.1 (StatET 3.0 - 3.3):
install.packages(c("rj", "rj.gd"), repos="http://download.walware.de/rj-1.1")
For RJ 1.0 (StatET 2.0):
install.packages(c("rj", "rj.gd"), repos="http://download.walware.de/rj-1.0")
For RJ 0.5 (StatET 0.10):
install.packages("rj", repos="http://download.walware.de/rj-0.5")
3.) Once you know your compatible version in accordance with StatET then run the package installation command.
for example. I am using a StatET 3.5 thus for me RJ 2.0 will work and not others .
So command would be
{install.packages(c("rj", "rj.gd"), repos="http://download.walware.de/rj-2.0")}
4.) Once your installation is done then do check the environmental variable are set correctly in case you are using any IDE ( Like Eclipse ). Library paths should be set in Eclipse or any other IDE.
