This is one instance where I always compile and install from source.  I 
know Dirk creates binaries for Ubuntu, but only for the latest version, 
and rjags is looking for version 2.1 of jags.  On a stock Ubuntu system, 
just download the tar file and follow the directions in the INSTALL 
file.  Should work with no problem.
