Hi, Here is a step-by-step guide to exactly how I've installed R in Ubuntu: http://www.nabble.com/installing-R-on-Ubuntu-td10025949.html#a21894865 Regarding rjags, here is what happened: This webpage (http://yusung.blogspot.com/2009/01/install-jags-and-rjags-in-fedora.html) recommends logging into R as sudo R, and then typing: install.packages("rjags", configure.args="--with-jags-include=/usr/local/include/JAGS --with-jags-lib=/usr/local/lib/JAGS --with-jags-modules=/usr/local/lib/JAGS/modules") ...but I get... Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rjags/libs/rjags.so': ...which is virtually identical to this thread (http://www.nabble.com/unable-to-install-rjags-on-64-bit-Debian-Linux-(etch)-td20404210.html#a20404210) about a 64-bit install. Although my computer has dual AMD64's, I'm sure it's a 32-bit system. I have removed rjags with remove.packages("rjags"). Does anybody know how to install rjags in Ubuntu Linux (I'm specifying it, because I am very new and don't know what I'm doing yet)? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Error-installing-rjags-in-Ubuntu-Linux-tp21900345p21900345.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
