[R] RJDBC in Ubuntu

[am]

Hi,

I'm working with R on Cassandra and need to install RJDBC on my Ubuntu
virtual machine. The traditional commands (install.packages(RJDBC, dep=TRUE)
and library(RJDBC)) don't work: they throw an error that they can't find the
package. I tried installing it using the Rkward GUI, but can't write to any
of the pre-set directories because of permissions issues. When I try running
it as root, nothing happens.

I finally tried re-running the install.packages(*'*RJDBC*'*, dep=TRUE)
command with quotes around RJDBC, and got the following: 

Warning in install.packages("RJDBC", dep = TRUE) :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using
'/home/bigd/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.10'

The downloaded packages are in
	‘/tmp/Rtmp7Pb3wA/downloaded_packages’
Warning messages:
1: In install.packages("RJDBC", dep = TRUE) :
  installation of package 'rJava' had non-zero exit status
2: In install.packages("RJDBC", dep = TRUE) :
  installation of package 'RJDBC' had non-zero exit status

...but it's still not working. 

Any suggestions? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
AM
