R help - Apr 2008 - rbugs on linux and wine

Hi List,

I trying an example from pumps{rbugs} with .Renviron in $HOME adjusted
for my box:
WINE="/usr/bin/wine",
BUGS="/usr/local/bin/WinBugs14/winbugs.exe"


data(pumps)
pumps.data <- list(t = pumps$t, x = pumps$x, N = nrow(pumps))
pumps.model <- file.path(.path.package("rbugs"),
"bugs/model",
"pumps.bug")
#file.show(pumps.model)
pumps.inits <- file.path(.path.package("rbugs"),
"bugs/inits",
"pumps.txt")
#file.show(pumps.inits)
inits <- list(dget(pumps.inits))
parameters <- c("theta", "alpha", "beta")


pumps.sim <- rbugs(data = pumps.data, inits, parameters, 
                   pumps.model, n.chains = 1, n.iter = 1000,
                   workingDir="tmp",
                   bugsWorkingDir="tmp",
                   #WINE="/usr/bin/wine",
                   #BUGS="/usr/local/bin/openbugs/winbugs.exe",
                   useWine=TRUE)
## End(Not run)

I get " error in rbugs(data=pumps.data,inits,parameters,
pumps.model,n.chains=1:
wine executable does not exists. "

However, /usr/bin/wine /usr/local/bin/WinBugs14/winbugs.exe starts up
winbugs.

I am running opensuse 10.3 with R 2.6.2 (2007-11-26), winbugs 1.4.3 (6th
August, 2007).

Any ideas on what goes wrong?

Thanks
Herry

Hi Alexander!

You are mixing WinBUGS and OpenBUGS. R package Rbugs works with OpenBUGS, but
the later does not work with Rbugs under Linux!

Are you talking about rbugs or BRugs, Gregor?

Ouch. Thank you Uwe! You are right, there are two R packages: rbugs and BRugs.
Unfortunatelly,
I do not have eany xperience with rbugs.

Sorry.
