similar to: R crashes when communicating with JAGS

There is a thread on this topic already: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-August/250934.html I'm rather mystified by a similar problem and wondering whether I've overlooked something obvious. I'm running with latest versions of R and all packages, and latest version of JAGS running under Windows 7. Here's the problem. I have some source code. It's given below -

May I request that Dirk's package for jags be added to the CRAN archives for Debian and Ubuntu? Installing the rjags package for R requires specific versions of jags to be present on the system. The current version of rjags requires jags version 2.2.0 or later but the version on the Ubuntu archives at Canonical (i.e. not the CRAN archives) is 2.1.0-2 I can always install Dirk's package

Hello, In WinBUGS 1.4 manual (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/manual14.pdf), the gamma density is presented as dgamma(r,mu) where r and mu are the shape and rate parameters, respectively. In JAGS (rjags) manual version 1.0.2, May 9, 2008 (http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/jags_user_manual.pdf), on page 26 the gamma density is presented as dgamma(mu,r) instead of dgamma(r,mu).

Hi all, I use the excellent packages rjags and cacheSweave, and unfortunately seem to have found an incompatibility between them. Below are a minimal .Rnw file and corresponding JAGS model file which illustrate the problem: *** JAGS model file; name=j.bug *** model { mu ~ dnorm(0,1.0E-5) sigma ~ dunif(0,100) for(i in 1:length(y)) { y[i] ~ dnorm(mu,sigma) } } *** *** .Rnw

Hi, With the sid package jags (2.0.0-1) and r-base-core (2.11.0-1), I cannot install package rjags anymore (this used to work at some point; can't recall exactly at what R/JAGS versions): ---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->--- R> install.packages("rjags", configure.args="--with-jags-modules=/usr/lib/JAGS/modules-2.0.0")

Hi, I'm trying to install rjags and R2jags with R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) on Linux Mint 12 machine using software repository: deb http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/linux/ubuntu oneiric/ jags seems to install OK, but rjags gives a weird error about not finding fprec symbol. Here is a history of the problem including several attempts to work around it. (Because of Ben Bolker's recent

Trying to install latest rjags (3-5) from CRAN with JAGS 3.2.0 installed on Ubuntu 10.04, with r-devel ... the bottom line is that it fails while loading with /libs/rjags.so: undefined symbol: _ZN7Console15checkAdaptationERb Has anyone else seen this or is it a glitch somewhere in my system? thanks Ben Bolker ================== bolker at ubuntu-10-new:~/R/pkgs/rjags$ jags Welcome to

Greetings, I wonder if anyone can offer any help or advice--even direction to an appropriate source of advice. I am trying to install rjags 1.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5 (see http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/). I have R.app 2.6.1 installed. JAGS 1.0.1 is apparently successfully installed. I (think I) know this because when I type 'jags' into Terminal, I get the following:

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

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",

While I have been able to install rjags on my Windows computer, oddly I have been unable to install rjags successfully on my 64-bit Linux compute server (etch, Linux kernel 2.6.18). I am required to specify the JAGS module directory upon installation; when doing this within R, I get:

Hi All: I get the following error when trying to install the rjags package. I've installed the jags software and I'm using Fedora 10.0 and my sessionInfo is at the bottom of this email. I'm also sorry if this email ends up having control A's all over it. I still haven't figured how to fix that. Thanks. [1] "LOADING MASS LIBRARY" checking for

Hi All, I am trying to install the package rjags into a local library on a machine for which I do not have root permissions. Using the command: R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-jags-include= ${JAGSBIN}/include/JAGS --with-jags-lib=${JAGSBIN}/lib/ --with-jags- modules=${JAGSBIN}/lib/JAGS/modules" CMD INSTALL -l ${JAGSBIN}/lib/ ../ rjags_1.0.3-12.tar.gz Where ${JAGSBIN} is

Recently installed 2.12.1 on my CentOS 5.5 box. Install of R went without incident, and packages downloaded and compiled fine. With one exception -- my interest is somewhat in the problems with this particular package, but more in terms of 'what to do if/when a package' doesn't compile properly. The offending package (in this instance) is rjags. When I try to install it using

Frank (or anyone else), can you offer any comments comparing runjags, R2jags, rjags ? I couldn't find any vignettes, nothing except a brief mention on Task Views.

Quick followup. Confirmed that TCl/Tk are both installed on the machine (they are, in both 32- and 64-bit flavours), as are all tcl and tk-related libs, devel packages, and about everything else I could find. It occurred to me that perhaps the R I compiled isn't 'tcltk' aware. I checked the config.log, and there is some hint that this might be the case. Just before ## File

Within an R session, type Sys.getenv() will list all the environment variables, but each one of them occupies about a page, so scrolling to find one is difficult. Is this because I don't know how to use it or something could be improved? Usually I'm not sure the exact name of a variable but want to look it up. Recently I installed rjags, with the JAGS-3.4.0's lib, include, modules

Anyone used jags.parallel in latest version of R2jags? Ubuntu Oneiric, just ran updates in R to get latest R2jags package which supposedly has added jags.parallel command to send chains to multiple cores ... but when I submit, I get: test <- jags.parallel(d, inits, param, model.file="rats.bug", n.chains=3, n.iter=2000) Error: could not find function
