[R-sig-Debian] Can't install rjags on LinuxMint 12

[Jim Robison-Cox]

Hi,

I'm trying to install rjags and R2jags with R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
on
Linux Mint 12 machine using
software repository:
  deb http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/linux/ubuntu oneiric/

jags seems to install OK, but rjags gives a weird error about not finding 
fprec symbol.


Here is a history of the problem including several attempts to work 
around it.
(Because of Ben Bolker's recent post, I first removed jags)

sudo apt-get remove jags
## The following packages will be REMOVED:
##  jags r-cran-rjags

  sudo apt-get install jags
## The following NEW packages will be installed:
##  jags
  ## Unpacking jags (from .../jags_3.2.0-1oneiric0_amd64.deb)

sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjags
##The following NEW packages will be installed:
   ##r-cran-rjags
   ## Unpacking r-cran-rjags (from .../r-cran-rjags_3.3-1_amd64.deb)

sudo apt-get install r-cran-r2jags
  ## The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  ## r-cran-r2jags : Depends: r-cran-r2winbugs but it is not installable
   ##E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

sudo apt-get install r-cran-r2winbugs
  ## Package r-cran-r2winbugs is not available, but is referred to by 
another package.

wget http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/R2WinBUGS_2.1-18.tar.gz
sudo R CMD INSTALL R2WinBUGS_2.1-18.tar.gz
## * DONE (R2WinBUGS)

wget http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/R2jags_0.03-02.tar.gz
sudo R CMD INSTALL R2jags_0.03-02.tar.gz

If I try installing  the newer rjags3.5, I get this error:

Thanks for any help,
