[R] Running R2WinBUGS on Linux using Wine

Hello all

(1) My departmental IT guru has installed the latest Wine (0.9.48) on a 
well maintained Fedora 7 server, so that I can run WinBUGS from R via 
R2WinBUGS (this seems like the only real option for running BUGS from R 
on a Linux platform?)

(2) WinBUGS seems to run okay, except for the following output errors:
=== === ===
fixme:keyboard:RegisterHotKey (0x10024,13,0x00000002,3): stub
fixme:ole:GetHGlobalFromILockBytes cbSize is 13824
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {0003000a-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} 
not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {0003000a-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} 
not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object 
{0003000a-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} could be created for context 0x3
=== === ===

(3) I found a previous posting suggesting that this is a Wine related 
issue, which doesn't seem too major, and is likely to be fixed (pasted 
below).  As I'm not too technical, I am naturally concerned that this 
problem might be doing horrible things with my analysis, which I haven't 
spotted yet. This mailing is just a sanity check with any of you gurus 
out there - for words of wisdom, advice, and perhaps what to watch out for.

Thanks,
Quin

causing this error and what the correction may be?

This is wine, not R2WinBUGS nor WinBUGS nor R, I fear, and the "fixme:" 
sounds promising that things go away in a more recent version of wine...
