Bill,

Thanks for your answer.

With your advise I was able to download  ‘rjags’, ‘logspline’. Especially your tip "install dependencies" was extremely helpful AND certainly made it work.

Could I outline in this respect the following, please?

I also was able to install Xcode, because

The package "lossDev" appears only in the list under "R package installation" if I choose "CRAN (sources)", somehow not under "CRAN (binaries)".

Tried to install "lossDev" under sources and got the following messages, in quotation marks:


"versuche URL 'http://cran.at.r-project.org/src/contrib/lossDev_3.0.0-4.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 1539914 bytes (1.5 Mb)
URL geöffnet
==================================================
downloaded 1.5 Mb

* installing *source* package ‘lossDev’ ...
** Paket ‘lossDev’ erfolgreich entpackt und MD5 Summen überprüft
checking for prefix by checking for jags... no
configure: error: "Location of JAGS headers not defined. Use configure arg '--with-jags-include' or environment variable 'JAGS_INCLUDE'"
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘lossDev’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/lossDev’

Die heruntergeladenen Quellpakete sind in = TRANSLATED by me: The downloaded source packages are in
	‘/private/var/folders/1d/7y5t0hy57q5bphrlsrgkq43h0000gp/T/RtmpoY8dls/downloaded_packages’
> 
"

If it does not take too much of your time, maybe you could have a look at it?

AND: "lossDev" got no mark under "installed version", but that is maybe obvious after the a/m R-message.

I think that I have to look for prof. help here in Germany.

Anyway, thanks for the time you spent on it,

Regards,

Andreas
