Hi, I'm running wine-1.0.1, OpenBUGS 3.0.3, R 2.9.0, and R2WinBUGS on a Redhat Enterprise Linux machine.
Following various peoples' suggestions... This works perfectly (yay!): wine Z:/opt/OpenBUGS/winbugs.exe Within R, however, I get this: (setup the example from ?bugs, then....) R> schools.sim <- bugs(data, inits, parameters, model.file, n.chains=3, n.iter=5000,bugs.directory="Z:/opt/OpenBUGS/") Error in file(con, "rb") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(con, "rb") : cannot open file '/home/harlan/.wine/dosdevices/z:/opt/OpenBUGS//System/Rsrc/Registry.odc': No such file or directory Error in bugs.run(n.burnin, bugs.directory, WINE = WINE, useWINE = useWINE, : WinBUGS executable does not exist in /home/harlan/.wine/dosdevices/z:/opt/OpenBUGS/ Trying to figure out these path issues: > ls /home/harlan/.wine/dosdevices/z:/opt/OpenBUGS/ BackBUGS.lnk Compare Docu Graph Lindev Ole Randnumseeds.odc Std Updater brugs.dll Correl Doodle Host Manuals OpenBUGS.zip Ranks Summary Win brugs.so Dev Examples Html Maps Plots Samples System winbugs.exe Bugs Developer Form libtaucs.dll Math randnumseeds0.bmp Script.odc Test Xhtml classicbugs.exe Deviance GeoBUGS Lin Monitors Randnumseeds.html Spatial Text > ls /home/harlan/.wine/dosdevices/z:/opt/OpenBUGS//System/Rsrc/Registry.odc ls: /home/harlan/.wine/dosdevices/z:/opt/OpenBUGS//System/Rsrc/Registry.odc: No such file or directory So, the warning message is correct, but the error is not. winbugs.exe clearly exists, and I'd expect bugs.run to find it... If I add "program="openbugs"", then I get the warning to install BRugs, which no longer exists. (But it's not clear if that's necessary.) Is it possible to make this work? If not, I'm extremely thankful that I can use Bugs under Wine, but I'd really prefer to use the R interface if possible! Thank you for any guidance! -Harlan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
