Hello folks

Earlier versions of jags and rjags installed on my system without any difficulty, but I'm having trouble with jags version 4.3.0-1ubuntu2~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 (from Michael Rutter's R ppa) and rjags version 4.6.

The call to install.packages() I always used successfully now produces the error "cannot link to JAGS library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu." shown below

I wondered if the location of jags headers, libraries, and modules om my system might be in non-standard places, so after locating them (with dpkg -L jags and /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep jags - ) I tried

install.packages("rjags", configure.args="--with-jags-include=/usr/include/JAGS --with-jags-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
--with-jags-modules=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/JAGS/modules-4")

which unfortunately produced the same result.

Any advice on how to sort this out would be appreciated. For example I could always try compiling both jags and/or rjags and hardcoding the location of jags libraries, but maybe there's a simpler way.

sessioninfo() and library() output are also shown below, but if other information is required please let me know

Regards Ken

Ken,

I experienced something similar in the past couple of days, so I recompiled rjags against all the current versions of the other packages. I was able to successfully install r-cran-rjags and use it from the PPA.

Please try installing with apt-get again and let me know if you have any issues.

Michael
