org.renjin.eval.EvalException: Exception calling R_parse : Unsupported pointer store to a memory region allocated for primitives

Question

I am trying to run the following code from Java using org.renjin Package.

library('org.renjin.cran:jsonlite')
data <- stream_in(file("src/main/resources/Events.json"))
print(data$timestamp)

I am getting the following error,

org.renjin.eval.EvalException: Exception calling R_parse : Unsupported pointer store to a memory region allocated for primitives.
This means something went wrong during compilation and we allocated the wrong type of storage.

Please help me out, thanks in advance.

It looks the Renjin toolchain wasn't successful in compiling jsonlite's C code to Java classes.

As an alternative, you can use the rjson package, for which a Renjin-compatible implementation exists: http://packages.renjin.org/package/org.renjin.cran/rjson
