Arch Linux

Description:
Running R CMD javareconf fails to detect the correct env variables.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Java version: 8.u60-1
R version: 3.2.2

Workaround:
On line 218 in /usr/lib/R/bin/javareconf, replace

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=

with

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server

Steps to reproduce:

sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk-headless r jdk8-openjdk
sudo R CMD javareconf
