R help - May 2005 - The error in R while using bugs.R function

Dear R users, 
 
I followed the instuctions on Dr. Gelman's web to install all
of documents that bugs.R needs, but when I try to run the school example that
the web posted in R, I got an error: couldn't find function
"bugs", what's wrong?
 
Thanks,
 
Jia

I suggest you ask Dr Gelman.  There is a function "bugs" in package
R2WinBUGS: perhaps you don't have that installed or that package loaded?

It sounds as though you missed an instruction, or he did.  I'm guessing 
you didn't run library() to load the package.

Generally when a contributed package doesn't work, you should ask the 
maintainer for help.

Have you forgot to source() Andrew's bugs.R file?

Anyway, you might want to give the CRAN package R2WinBUGS a try, which 
is based on Andrew's code known as "bugs.R".
There is also a developer version BRugs (an interface to OpenBUGS) 
available at http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/~ligges/BRugs/ (will 
move to CRAN very soon now).
