[R] error when installing rjags

[Tobias Verbeke]

Hi Mark,

What command did you use exactly to install the package ?

The following blog post by Yu-Sung Su

http://yusung.blogspot.com/2009/01/install-jags-and-rjags-in-fedora.html

indicates that some configure.args might need to be set to
succesfully install the package (at least on Fedora 10)

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")

The fact that in the error message complains some files are
not found might have to do with one of the appropriate paths
not being picked up.

HTH,
Tobias
