Question about error in R trying to install DatabaseConnector

Implementers
1

I’m trying to install DatabaseConnector in R using:

install.packages(“devtools”)
install.packages(“rJava”)
devtools::install_github(“OHDSI/DatabaseConnector”)

I’m getting this error. Not sure why it’s looking for a 32bit version???

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘DatabaseConnector’:
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for ‘rJava’, details:
call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), …)
error: unable to load shared object ‘C:/ProgramData/R/lib/rJava/libs/i386/rJava.dll’:
LoadLibrary failure: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Full output is below:

I was able to get this to run by making the modifications shown below

install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("rJava", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")
devtools::install_github("OHDSI/DatabaseConnector", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")
devtools::install_github("OHDSI/SqlRender", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")

Using these versions:
Windows 10
Java “17.0.2” 2022-01-18 LTS
R 62bit default

I also needed to run RStudio as “admin” to get it to run correctly.
