Hello list,
I’ve been trying to get OpenBUGS running on my mac using the wine emulator.  I can run Openbugs just fine by doing:
wine ~/OpenBUGS312/OpenBUGS.exe

In the terminal, so OpenBUGS works.  When I try to run the schools example using rbugs(), the OpenBUGS process starts in wine, but it just sits there, no log, no script, no output of any sort.  The rbugs() call makes the init, data, model and script file, but there seems to be a problem with R piping the script to OpenBUGS, here is my example

library(rbugs)
data(schools)
J <- nrow(schools)
y <- schools$estimate
y <- rnorm(length(y))
sigma.y <- schools$sd
schools.data <- list ("J", "y", "sigma.y")
## schools.data <- list(J=J, y=y, sigma.y=sigma.y)
inits <- function() {list (theta=rnorm(J,0,100),
                           mu.theta=rnorm(1,0,100),
                           sigma.theta=runif(1,0,100))}
parameters <- c("theta", "mu.theta", "sigma.theta")
schools.bug <- file.path(.path.package("rbugs"), "bugs/model", "schools.bug")
file.show(schools.bug)

#This almost runs, it makes all files, but doesn't run the script
schools.sim <- rbugs(data=schools.data, inits, parameters,
                     schools.bug, n.chains=3, n.iter=10000,seed=123,
                     workingDir="/Users/ozd504/Documents/",
                     bugsWorkingDir="/Users/ozd504/Documents/",
                     useWine=TRUE,
                     wine="/opt/local/bin/wine",
                     bugs = "/Users/ozd504/OpenBUGS312/OpenBUGS.exe",OpenBugs=T,
                     debug=TRUE)

This Returns an error saying that bugs terminated before the coda could be written

I can also send a screen shot of what happens if anyone is interested.  Any help would be most appreciated.  Here is my sessionInfo()
