[R] JAGS 4.x, rjags 4.x problems | Linux

[Yvan Richard]

According to the README file in the rjags source code (in the tar.gz
file), you can apparently pass options to the configure script to
specify where JAGS is installed.
I'm confident you can solve your problem by following the instructions
in that README file.
