[R-SIG-Mac] problem installing rjags package

[Michael Braun]

Hi!

I am trying to install rjags on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.4, and R 2.11.1 (which I compiled myself so I could link to the Intel MKL blas, which I prefer to other options).   I was successfully able to install JAGS 2.1.0 through both the binary installer, and compiling from source (I get the same problem either way).

But I would like to use the rjags package. When I do 

install.packages("rjags")


I get the folliowing output:

However, when I go to look at the symbols in the jags library, I see

braunm4: /usr/local/lib $ nm libjags.dylib |grep JAGS
0000000000098650 S _JAGS_NA
0000000000110338 S _JAGS_NAN
0000000000110348 S _JAGS_NEGINF
0000000000110340 S _JAGS_POSINF
000000000000133c t __GLOBAL__I_JAGS_NA

and when I try

braunm4: /usr/local/lib $ nm libjags.a |grep JAGS
                 U _JAGS_NA
                 U _JAGS_NEGINF
                 U _JAGS_NA
                 U _JAGS_NA
0000000000000060 S _JAGS_NA

                 U _JAGS_NA
                 U _JAGS_NEGINF
                 U _JAGS_POSINF
                 U _JAGS_NEGINF
                 U _JAGS_POSINF
                 U _JAGS_NEGINF
                 U _JAGS_NA
                 U _JAGS_NEGINF
                 U _JAGS_NEGINF
                 U _JAGS_NA
                 U _JAGS_NEGINF
                 U _JAGS_POSINF


So the jags libraries (both static and dynamic) are in the standard place, and it looks like the symbols rjags.so needs are there as well.  So I'm not sure what the rjags installer is looking for.  Is there perhaps an environment variable that I am missing?

Here is my sessionInfo():

Thanks in advance for your help.
